3.5.7.24 -stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Seif Mazareeb <seif@xxxxxxxxxxx> commit f2e5ddcc0d12f9c4c7b254358ad245c9dddce13b upstream. When CONFIG_NETLABEL is disabled, the cipso_v4_validate() function could loop forever in the main loop if opt[opt_iter +1] == 0, this will causing a kernel crash in an SMP system, since the CPU executing this function will stall /not respond to IPIs. This problem can be reproduced by running the IP Stack Integrity Checker (http://isic.sourceforge.net) using the following command on a Linux machine connected to DUT: "icmpsic -s rand -d <DUT IP address> -r 123456" wait (1-2 min) Signed-off-by: Seif Mazareeb <seif@xxxxxxxxxxx> Acked-by: Paul Moore <paul@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: David S.
