Subject: [PATCH 1/1] net: fix cipso packet validation when !NETLABEL
Date: Thu, 17 Oct 2013 20:33:21 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1382067201-8286-1-git-send-email-seif.mazareeb@gmail.com> (raw)

From: Seif Mazareeb <seif@marvell.com>

When CONFIG_NETLABEL is disabled, the cipso_v4_validate() function could loop
forever in the main loop if opt[opt_iter +1] == 0, this will causing a kernel
crash in an SMP system, since the CPU executing this function will
stall /not respond to IPIs.

This problem can be reproduced by running the IP Stack Integrity Checker
(http://isic.sourceforge.net) using the following command on a Linux machine
connected to DUT:

"icmpsic -s rand -d <DUT IP address> -r 123456"
wait (1-2 min)
