net: ipv4: remove erroneous advancement of list pointer
Causes crash when lifetime expires on an adress as garbage is dereferenced soon after. This used to look like this: for (ifap = &ifa->ifa_dev->ifa_list; *ifap != NULL; ifap = &(*ifap)->ifa_next) { if (*ifap == ifa) ... but this was changed to: struct in_ifaddr *tmp; ifap = &ifa->ifa_dev->ifa_list; tmp = rtnl_dereference(*ifap); while (tmp) { tmp = rtnl_dereference(tmp->ifa_next); // Bogus if (rtnl_dereference(*ifap) == ifa) { ... ifap = &tmp->ifa_next; // Can be NULL tmp = rtnl_dereference(*ifap); // Dereference } } Remove the bogus assigment/list entry skip. Fixes: 2638eb8b50cf ("net: ipv4: provide __rcu annotation for ifa_list") Signed-off-by: Florian Westphal <fw@strlen.de> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
