Subject: [PATCH] net: Make skb_seq_read unmap the last fragment
Date: Tue, 19 Jun 2007 09:56:24 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <200706190956.26252.okir@lst.de> (raw)

From: Olaf Kirch <olaf.kirch@oracle.com>

Make skb_seq_read unmap the last fragment

Having walked through the entire skbuff, skb_seq_read would leave the
last fragment mapped.  As a consequence, the unwary caller would leak
kmaps, and proceed with preempt_count off by one. The only (kind of
non-intuitive) workaround is to use skb_seq_read_abort.

This patch makes sure skb_seq_read always unmaps frag_data after having
cycled through the skb's paged part.
