[PATCH net 0/3] llc2 station handler fixes

From: Ben Hutchings <hidden>
Date: 2012-08-13 12:48:50

I was insprired by commit 91d27a8650d5359a7a320daeb35b88cdea15e3a8
('llc: free the right skb') to look into llc_station.c, and didn't like
what I saw.

These are *only* compile tested; hopefully you have some way to test
LLC.

Ben.

  llc2: Fix silent failure of llc_station_init()
  llc2: Call llc_station_exit() on llc2_init() failure path
  llc: Fix races between llc2 handler use and (un)registration

[PATCH net 1/3] llc2: Fix silent failure of llc_station_init()

From: Ben Hutchings <hidden>
Date: 2012-08-13 12:50:02

llc_station_init() creates and processes an event skb with no effect
other than to change the state from DOWN to UP.  Allocation failure is
reported, but then ignored by its caller, llc2_init().  Remove this
possibility by simply initialising the state as UP.

[PATCH net 3/3] llc: Fix races between llc2 handler use and (un)registration

From: Ben Hutchings <hidden>
Date: 2012-08-13 12:51:00

When registering the handlers, any state they rely on must be
completely initialised first.  When unregistering, we must wait until
they are definitely no longer running.  llc_rcv() must also avoid
reading the handler pointers again after checking for NULL.

This will cause section mismatch errors, you'll need to remove
the __exit tag from llc_station_exit() if you want to start
invoking it from llc2_init() which is __init.

I took care of this when applying this patch to 'net'.

Thanks, David.

llc_station.c turns out to be mostly dead code, and I have some more
radical changes to remove that which I'll send after you next merge net
into net-next.

I say we take off; nuke the site from orbit.  It's the only way to be sure.
