This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled ipv4: panic in leaf_walk_rcu due to stale node pointer to the 4.4-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: ipv4-panic-in-leaf_walk_rcu-due-to-stale-node-pointer.patch and it can be found in the queue-4.4 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. >From foo@baz Wed Sep 21 12:45:10 CEST 2016 From: David Forster <dforster@xxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Wed, 3 Aug 2016 15:13:01 +0100 Subject: ipv4: panic in leaf_walk_rcu due to stale node pointer From: David Forster <dforster@xxxxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit 94d9f1c5906b20053efe375b6d66610bca4b8b64 ] Panic occurs when issuing "cat /proc/net/route" whilst populating FIB with > 1M routes. Use of cached node pointer in fib_route_get_idx is unsafe.
