Subject: net: fix dev_seq_next()
X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=ccf434380d1a67df2dcb9113206b77d0cb0a1cef;p=GitHub%2Fexynos8895%2Fandroid_kernel_samsung_universal8895.git

net: fix dev_seq_next()

Commit c6d14c84566d (net: Introduce for_each_netdev_rcu() iterator)
added a race in dev_seq_next().

The rcu_dereference() call should be done _before_ testing the end of
list, or we might return a wrong net_device if a concurrent thread
changes net_device list under us.

Note : discovered thanks to a sparse warning :

net/core/dev.c:3919:9: error: incompatible types in comparison expression
(different address spaces)
