X-Git-Tag: v2.6.37-rc1~147^2~3^2~13 X-Git-Url: https://git.karo-electronics.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=d86bef73b4a24e59e7c1f896a72bbf38430ac2c6;p=karo-tx-linux.git Fixed race condition at ip_vs.ko module init. Lists were initialized after the module was registered. Multiple ipvsadm processes at module load triggered a race condition that resulted in a null pointer dereference in do_ip_vs_get_ctl(). As a result, __ip_vs_mutex was left locked preventing all further ipvsadm commands. Signed-off-by: Eduardo J.
