3.8-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Peter Hurley <peter@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> commit e1082f45f1e2bbf6e25f6b614fc6616ebf709d19 upstream. If the src msg is > 4k, then dest->next points to the next allocated segment; resetting it just prior to dereferencing is bad.
