[PATCH 3.10 04/14] packet: read num_members once in packet_rcv_fanout()

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Wed Jul 08 2015 - 03:32:37 EST


3.10-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@xxxxxxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit f98f4514d07871da7a113dd9e3e330743fd70ae4 ]

We need to tell compiler it must not read f->num_members multiple
times. Otherwise testing if num is not zero is flaky, and we could
attempt an invalid divide by 0 in fanout_demux_cpu()

Note bug was present in packet_rcv_fanout_hash() and
packet_rcv_fanout_lb() but final 3.1 had a simple location
after commit 95ec3eb417115fb ("packet: Add 'cpu' fanout policy.")

Fixes: dc99f600698dc ("packet: Add fanout support.")
