xfrm4_tunnel_register() & xfrm6_tunnel_register() should use rcu_assign_pointer() to make sure previous writes (to handler->next) are committed to memory before chain insertion. deregister functions dont need a particular barrier. Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <eric.dumazet@gmail.com> --- No risk of crash, because handler->next is NULL before register() call, but a possibility of packet being dropped. net/ipv4/tunnel4.c | 2 +- net/ipv6/tunnel6.c | 2 +- 2 files changed, 2 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netdev" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
