Subject: [PATCH] OOPS with NETLINK_FIB_LOOKUP netlink socket
Date: Fri, 21 Dec 2007 12:00:43 +0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20071221090043.GA25484@iris.sw.ru> (raw)

nl_fib_input re-reuses incoming skb to send the reply. This means that this
packet will be freed twice, namely in:
- netlink_unicast_kernel
- on receive path
Use clone to send as a cure, the caller is responsible for kfree_skb on error.

Thanks to Alexey Dobryan, who originally found the problem.
