net: fix a data race when get vlan device
We encountered a crash: in the packet receiving process, we got an illegal VLAN device address, but the VLAN device address saved in vmcore is correct. After checking the code, we found a possible data competition: CPU 0: CPU 1: (RCU read lock) (RTNL lock) vlan_do_receive() register_vlan_dev() vlan_find_dev() ->__vlan_group_get_device() ->vlan_group_prealloc_vid() In vlan_group_prealloc_vid(), We need to make sure that memset() in kzalloc() is executed before assigning value to vlan devices array: ================================= kzalloc() ->memset(object, 0, size) smp_wmb() vg->vlan_devices_arrays[pidx][vidx] = array; ================================== Because __vlan_group_get_device() function depends on this order. otherwise we may get a wrong address from the hardware cache on another cpu. So fix it by adding memory barrier instruction to ensure the order of memory operations. Signed-off-by: Di Zhu <zhudi21@huawei.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
