Subject: [PATCH] [2.4] [2.5] Fix PPPoATM crash on disconnection (tasklet_disable; kfree(tasklet))
Date: 11 May 2002 21:19:31 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1021144771.3909.27.camel@ldb> (raw)

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 699 bytes --]

PPPoATM uses tasklet_disable() on a tasklet inside a struct and then
frees the struct, leaving a pointer to the freed tasklet inside tasklet
lists.
This patch replaces tasklet_disable() with tasklet_kill().

This bug is present in both 2.4.18 and 2.5.15 (and the patch applies to
both).
