[PATCH] bonding: UPDATED hash-table corruption in bond_alb.c
I believe I see the race Michael refers to (tlb_choose_channel may set head, which tlb_init_slave clears), although I was not able to reproduce it. I have updated his patch for the current netdev-2.6.git tree and added a version update. His original comment follows: Our systems have been crashing during testing of PCI HotPlug support in the various networking components. We've faulted in the bonding driver due to a bug in bond_alb.c:tlb_clear_slave() In that routine, the last modification to the TLB hash table is made without protection of the lock, allowing a race that can lead tlb_choose_channel() to select an invalid table element. -J Signed-off-by: Jeff Garzik <jgarzik@pobox.com>
