[PATCH 3.16 038/346] batman-adv: lock crc access in bridge loop avoidance

[Ben Hutchings]

3.16.39-rc1 review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

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

From: Simon Wunderlich <sw@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

commit 5a1dd8a4773d4c24e925cc6154826d555a85c370 upstream.

We have found some networks in which nodes were constantly requesting
other nodes BLA claim tables to synchronize, just to ask for that again
once completed. The reason was that the crc checksum of the asked nodes
were out of sync due to missing locking and multiple writes to the same
crc checksum when adding/removing entries. Therefore the asked nodes
constantly reported the wrong crc, which caused repeating requests.

To avoid multiple functions changing a backbone gateways crc entry at
the same time, lock it using a spinlock.
