[PATCH 4.9 15/32] macvtap: read vnet_hdr_size once

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Thu Feb 16 2017 - 13:03:48 EST


4.9-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

From: Willem de Bruijn <willemb@xxxxxxxxxx>


[ Upstream commit 837585a5375c38d40361cfe64e6fd11e1addb936 ]

When IFF_VNET_HDR is enabled, a virtio_net header must precede data.
Data length is verified to be greater than or equal to expected header
length tun->vnet_hdr_sz before copying.

Macvtap functions read the value once, but unless READ_ONCE is used,
the compiler may ignore this and read multiple times. Enforce a single
read and locally cached value to avoid updates between test and use.
