In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
vrf: revert "vrf: Remove unnecessary RCU-bh critical section"
This reverts commit 504fc6f4f7f681d2a03aa5f68aad549d90eab853.
dev_queue_xmit_nit is expected to be called with BH disabled.
__dev_queue_xmit has the following:
/* Disable soft irqs for various locks below. Also
* stops preemption for RCU.
*/
rcu_read_lock_bh();
VRF must follow this invariant. The referenced commit removed this
protection. Which triggered a lockdep warning:
