Subject: [PATCH 2.6.36/stable v2] vlan: Fix crash when hwaccel rx pkt for non-existant vlan.
Date: Tue, 26 Oct 2010 10:06:37 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1288112797-21550-1-git-send-email-greearb@candelatech.com> (raw)
The vlan_hwaccel_do_receive code expected skb->dev to always
be a vlan device, but if the NIC was promisc, and the VLAN
for a particular VID was not configured, then this method
could receive a packet where skb->dev was NOT a vlan
device. This caused access of bad memory and a crash.

v1 -> v2: Simplify patch..no need for setting pkt-type, etc.
