Subject: [IPV6]: Fix race in route selection.
X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=c302e6d54e468ee9b1e18152e2e9da06953f3473;p=GitHub%2FLineageOS%2Fandroid_kernel_motorola_exynos9610.git

[IPV6]: Fix race in route selection.

We eliminated rt6_dflt_lock (to protect default router pointer)
at 2.6.17-rc1, and introduced rt6_select() for general router selection.
The function is called in the context of rt6_lock read-lock held,
but this means, we have some race conditions when we do round-robin.
