[ 078/143] ipv4: fix possible seqlock deadlock

From: Willy Tarreau
Date: Sun May 11 2014 - 21:56:06 EST


2.6.32-longterm review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

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

From: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@xxxxxxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit c9e9042994d37cbc1ee538c500e9da1bb9d1bcdf ]

ip4_datagram_connect() being called from process context,
it should use IP_INC_STATS() instead of IP_INC_STATS_BH()
otherwise we can deadlock on 32bit arches, or get corruptions of
SNMP counters.

Fixes: 584bdf8cbdf6 ("[IPV4]: Fix "ipOutNoRoutes" counter error for TCP and UDP")
