Subject: tun: Fix races in tun_set_iff
X-Git-Url: https://git.karo-electronics.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=a7385ba21102a90f902055f9f185ca02bf62fa43;p=linux-beck.git

tun: Fix races in tun_set_iff

It is possible for two different tasks with access to the same file
descriptor to call tun_set_iff on it at the same time and race to
attach to a tap device.  Prevent this by placing all of the logic to
attach to a file descriptor in one function and testing the file
descriptor to be certain it is not already attached to another tun
device.
