[PATCH] net: sk == 0xffffffff fix - not for commit

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



NOT FOR COMMITTING TO MAINLINE.

With g_ether loaded the sk occasionally becomes 0xffffffff.
It happens usually after transferring few hundreds of kilobytes to few
tens of megabytes. If sk is 0xffffffff then dereferencing it causes
kernel panic.

This is a *workaround*. I don't know enough net code to understand the core
of the problem. However, with this patch applied the problems are gone,
or at least pushed farther away.

The relevant stack trace below:
