[Bug 36] New: Possible SMP-race in rule handling (or other memorycorrupting thing)
...g@lists.netfilter.org
I'm not certain this is a SMP-race, it could be any other kind of memory
corrupting thing...
Inserting a rule on an quite active SMP (2cpus) router may give you some
suprises it seems. Only seen once and I havn't tried to reproduce it yet since
it's an important productionrouter but I'll test it on a testmachine.
Ok so here we go, the router enables forwarding before any iptables stuff is
activated (I should change the scripts :) and then it loads a few modules and
inserts a bunch of rules (not very many) and one of these rules got corrupted.
Inserted rule:
iptable...
