bonding: fix a race condition in calls to slave MII ioctls
In mii monitor mode, bond_check_dev_link() calls the the ioctl handler of slave devices. It stores the ndo_do_ioctl function pointer to a static (!) ioctl variable and later uses it to call the handler with the IOCTL macro. If another thread executes bond_check_dev_link() at the same time (even with a different bond, which none of the locks prevent), a race condition occurs. If the two racing slaves have different drivers, this may result in one driver's ioctl handler being called with a pointer to a net_device controlled with a different driver, resulting in unpredictable breakage. Unless I am overlooking something, the "static" must be a copy'n'paste error (?). Signed-off-by: Jiri Bohac <jbohac@suse.cz> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
