- ppp_mppe-dont-put-interimkey-on-the-stack.patch removed from -mm tree

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

 



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.
