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. Fixes: 2638eb8b50cf ("net: ipv4: provide __rcu annotation for ifa_list") Reported-by: Ran Rozenstein <ranro@mellanox.com> Reported-by: Tariq Toukan <tariqt@mellanox.com> Signed-off-by: Florian Westphal <fw@strlen.de> Signed-off-by: David S.
