From 3e4006f0b86a5ae5eb0e8215f9a9e1db24506977 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Eric Dumazet Date: Fri, 8 Jan 2016 09:35:51 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] ipv6: tcp: add rcu locking in tcp_v6_send_synack() When first SYNACK is sent, we already hold rcu_read_lock(), but this is not true if a SYNACK is retransmitted, as a timer (soft) interrupt does not hold rcu_read_lock() Fixes: 45f6fad84cc30 ("ipv6: add complete rcu protection around np->opt") Reported-by: Dave Jones Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet Signed-off-by: David S.
