From ee89f39c5e85dc539c4e50669830c549199bc52a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Niels Dossche Date: Wed, 23 Feb 2022 14:19:56 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] ipv6: prevent a possible race condition with lifetimes [ Upstream commit 6c0d8833a605e195ae219b5042577ce52bf71fff ] valid_lft, prefered_lft and tstamp are always accessed under the lock "lock" in other places. Reading these without taking the lock may result in inconsistencies regarding the calculation of the valid and preferred variables since decisions are taken on these fields for those variables.
