From: Petr Pavlu <petr.pavlu@suse.com> stable inclusion from stable-v4.19.317 commit ebde6e8a52c68dc45b4ae354e279ba74788579e7 category: bugfix bugzilla: https://gitee.com/openeuler/kernel/issues/IAMPH5 Reference: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git/commit/?id=... ------------------------------------------------- [ Upstream commit 14a20e5b4ad998793c5f43b0330d9e1388446cf3 ] 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.")
