Subject: [PATCH RTF] sh_eth: fix kernel oops in skb_put()
Date: Fri, 23 Oct 2015 23:09:47 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <4859772.ltR2e4ZqZH@wasted.cogentembedded.com> (raw)

In a low memory situation the following kernel oops occurs:

Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 00000050
pgd = 8490c000
[00000050] *pgdF51e831, *pte\0000000, *ppte\0000000

[...]

This is because netdev_alloc_skb() fails and 'mdp->rx_skbuff[entry]' is left
NULL but sh_eth_rx() later uses it without checking. Add such check...
