I'm guessing this is the cause: commit 522ad79b7fd042f7f735bf1826f2e5b564d8f015 Author: Jiri Benc <jbenc@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Thu Aug 21 21:33:44 2014 +0200 openvswitch: fix panic with multiple vlan headers static int make_writable(struct sk_buff *skb, int write_len) { + if (!pskb_may_pull(skb, write_len)) + return -ENOMEM; + if (!skb_cloned(skb) || skb_clone_writable(skb, write_len)) return 0; ...which takes us through: static inline int pskb_may_pull(struct sk_buff *skb, unsigned int len) { if (likely(len <= skb_headlen(skb))) return 1; if (unlikely(len > skb->len)) return 0; return __pskb_pull_tail(skb, len - skb_headlen(skb)) != NULL; } unsigned char *__pskb_pull_tail(struct sk_buff *skb, int delta) { int eat = (skb->tail + delta) - skb->end; ... if (eat > 0 || skb_cloned(skb)) { if (pskb_expand_head(skb, 0, eat > 0 ? eat + 128 : 0, GFP_ATOMIC)) return NULL; } ... } pskb_expand_head(skb, 0, eat > 0 ? eat + 128 : 0, GFP_ATOMIC) { ... if (skb_shared(skb)) BUG(); <<< BOOM!!! ... } Cheers, Chris -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe stable" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
