Julian Wiedmann 56f662db7f s390/qeth: fix double-free on IP add/remove race [ Upstream commit `14d066c353` ] Registering an IPv4 address with the HW takes quite a while, so we temporarily drop the ip_htable lock. Any concurrent add/remove of the same IP adjusts the IP's use count, and (on remove) is then blocked by addr->in_progress. After the register call has completed, we check the use count for concurrently attempted add/remove calls - and possibly straight-away deregister the IP again. This happens via l3_delete_ip(), which 1) looks up the queried IP in the htable (getting a reference to the same queried object), 2) deregisters the IP from the HW, and 3) frees the IP object. The caller in l3_add_ip() then does a second free on the same object. For this case, skip all the extra checks and lookups in l3_delete_ip() and just deregister & free the IP object ourselves.

README

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
