Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br /> <br /> ip_tunnel: adapt iptunnel_xmit_stats() to NETDEV_PCPU_STAT_DSTATS<br /> <br /> Blamed commits forgot that vxlan/geneve use udp_tunnel[6]_xmit_skb() which<br /> call iptunnel_xmit_stats().<br /> <br /> iptunnel_xmit_stats() was assuming tunnels were only using<br /> NETDEV_PCPU_STAT_TSTATS.<br /> <br /> @syncp offset in pcpu_sw_netstats and pcpu_dstats is different.<br /> <br /> 32bit kernels would either have corruptions or freezes if the syncp<br /> sequence was overwritten.<br /> <br /> This patch also moves pcpu_stat_type closer to dev-&gt;{t,d}stats to avoid<br /> a potential cache line miss since iptunnel_xmit_stats() needs to read it.
