The patch titled ppp_mppe: don't put InterimKey on the stack has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was ppp_mppe-dont-put-interimkey-on-the-stack.patch This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree ------------------------------------------------------ Subject: ppp_mppe: don't put InterimKey on the stack From: Michal Schmidt <mschmidt@xxxxxxxxxx> The interrupt stack can be in the __START_KERNEL_map region in which virt_to_page will not work. This caused ppp_mppe to crash on CentOS 5 on x86_64 (http://bugs.centos.org/view.php?id=2076). The fix is to avoid copying the interim key. We can simply use it in its original place, which is kmalloc'd.
