Devices going away have to grab the nfnl_lock from the netdev event path to avoid races with control plane updates. However, netlink dumps in netfilter do not hold nfnl_lock mutex. Cache the device name into the objects to avoid an use-after-free situation for a device that is going away. Signed-off-by: Pablo Neira Ayuso <pablo@netfilter.org>
Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
