[PATCH net 3/4] openvswitch: Fix race.

From: Jesse Gross <hidden>
Date: 2014-03-20 18:09:13
Subsystem: networking [general], openvswitch, the rest · Maintainers: "David S. Miller", Eric Dumazet, Jakub Kicinski, Paolo Abeni, Aaron Conole, Eelco Chaudron, Ilya Maximets, Linus Torvalds

From: Jarno Rajahalme <redacted>

ovs_vport_cmd_dump() did rcu_read_lock() only after getting the
datapath, which could have been deleted in between.  Resolved by
taking rcu_read_lock() before the get_dp() call.
