From 14a20e5b4ad998793c5f43b0330d9e1388446cf3 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Petr Pavlu Date: Fri, 7 Jun 2024 13:28:28 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] net/ipv6: Fix the RT cache flush via sysctl using a previous delay The net.ipv6.route.flush system parameter takes a value which specifies a delay used during the flush operation for aging exception routes. The written value is however not used in the currently requested flush and instead utilized only in the next one. A problem is that ipv6_sysctl_rtcache_flush() first reads the old value of net->ipv6.sysctl.flush_delay into a local delay variable and then calls proc_dointvec() which actually updates the sysctl based on the provided input. Fix the problem by switching the order of the two operations. Fixes: 4990509f19e8 ("[NETNS][IPV6]: Make sysctls route per namespace.")
