[PATCH 3.16.y-ckt 121/130] batman-adv: protect tt_local_entry from concurrent delete events

Show all headers | View raw

3.16.7-ckt17 -stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Marek Lindner <mareklindner@neomailbox.ch>

commit ef72706a0543d0c3a5ab29bd6378fdfb368118d9 upstream.

The tt_local_entry deletion performed in batadv_tt_local_remove() was neither
protecting against simultaneous deletes nor checking whether the element was
still part of the list before calling hlist_del_rcu().

Replacing the hlist_del_rcu() call with batadv_hash_remove() provides adequate
protection via hash spinlocks as well as an is-element-still-in-hash check to
avoid 'blind' hash removal.

Fixes: 068ee6e204e1 ("batman-adv: roaming handling mechanism redesign")
