Hello Paul Fulghum: it seems you are very busy, and can not get your reply for "checking length in function rx_get_buf". so I suggest: design: to give it additional length checking in function rx_get_buf. if realy > max_frame_size, will return false (also need call free_rbufs). unit test plan: write a simple driver to integrate relative functions (already modified as design). pass compiling, and can succeed loading. and then call the relative function (rx_get_buf) with intended values check the work flow of our modification whether as expected. at last, I still suggestion Paul Fulghum to provide the patch when he has free time. for synclink, he is more expert than me. for synclink, he can give better test. if still get no reply within an additonal week: I should provide the patch, it is my duty. I will be according to the patch which Paul Fulghum has already provided. and then add the "checking length in function rx_get_buf".
