From e2e210c0238eb7073e07af503ae743fa53977120 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Eric Dumazet Date: Wed, 2 Nov 2011 22:47:44 +0000 Subject: l2tp: fix race in l2tp_recv_dequeue() Misha Labjuk reported panics occurring in l2tp_recv_dequeue() If we release reorder_q.lock, we must not keep a dangling pointer (tmp), since another thread could manipulate reorder_q. Instead we must restart the scan at beginning of list. Reported-by: Misha Labjuk Tested-by: Misha Labjuk Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet Signed-off-by: David S.
