In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ipv6: mcast: remove one synchronizenet() barrier in ipv6mcdown() As discussed in the past (commit 2d3916f31891 ("ipv6: fix skb drops in igmp6eventquery() and igmp6eventreport()")) I think the synchronizenet() call in ipv6mcdown() is not needed. Under load, synchronize_net() can last between 200 usec and 5 ms. KASAN seems to agree as well.
