This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled macsec: dynamically allocate space for sglist to the 4.9-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: macsec-dynamically-allocate-space-for-sglist.patch and it can be found in the queue-4.9 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 Thu May 11 11:08:24 CEST 2017 From: "Jason A. Donenfeld" <Jason@xxxxxxxxx> Date: Tue, 25 Apr 2017 19:08:18 +0200 Subject: macsec: dynamically allocate space for sglist From: "Jason A. Donenfeld" <Jason@xxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit 5294b83086cc1c35b4efeca03644cf9d12282e5b ] We call skb_cow_data, which is good anyway to ensure we can actually modify the skb as such (another error from prior). Now that we have the number of fragments required, we can safely allocate exactly that amount of memory. Fixes: c09440f7dcb3 ("macsec: introduce IEEE 802.1AE driver") Signed-off-by: Jason A.
