Subject: [INET_DIAG]: Fix oops in netlink_rcv_skb
Date: Mon, 10 Sep 2007 09:50:57 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <46E4F761.4050902@trash.net> (raw)

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 240 bytes --]

Fix the oidentd oops reported by Athanasius <link@miggy.org> in
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8961

The oops is a 2.6.22 regression and triggerable by normal users.
The patch applies cleanly to current -git and stable-2.6.22.

[INET_DIAG]: Fix oops in netlink_rcv_skb

netlink_run_queue() doesn't handle multiple processes processing the
queue concurrently. Serialize queue processing in inet_diag to fix
a oops in netlink_rcv_skb caused by netlink_run_queue passing a
NULL for the skb.

BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 00000054
