Hi, team.
I'm reading acl-plugin code and have a question on race condition.
When vpp needs to update acl rules, it does not keep a refcnt or
something and just `vec_free`s the rules. Is it safe?:
```
/* ACL updater: from acl_add_list() */
{
a = am->acls + *acl_list_index;
/* Get rid of the old rules */
if (a->rules)
vec_free (a->rules); /* (A) */
}
...
/* ACL user: from single_acl_match_5tuple() */
for (i = 0; i < vec_len(acl_rules); i++)
{
r = &acl_rules[i];
... /* (B) */
```
I worry that vpp can SEGV by refering freed memory when it referes an
acl rules `r` in (B) while another thread frees the rule in (A).
Best regards,
Chul-Woong
