From 25cc8f0763c972911b1a65099cd10d9f8a45a7b0 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Robert Shearman Date: Fri, 5 Jun 2015 18:54:45 +0100 Subject: mpls: fix possible use after free of device The mpls device is used in an RCU read context without a lock being held. As the memory is freed without waiting for the RCU grace period to elapse, the freed memory could still be in use. Address this by using kfree_rcu to free the memory for the mpls device after the RCU grace period has elapsed.
