From 6a9e9cea4c51dd7137f381710bb42e2ad6e7e285 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Florian Westphal Date: Thu, 27 Jun 2019 14:03:32 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] net: ipv4: fix infinite loop on secondary addr promotion secondary address promotion causes infinite loop -- it arranges for ifa->ifa_next to point back to itself. Problem is that 'prev_prom' and 'last_prim' might point at the same entry, so 'last_sec' pointer must be obtained after prev_prom->next update.
