Subject: [patch 3/3] af_iucv: defensive programming of iucv_callback_txdone
Date: Thu, 07 Feb 2008 15:28:45 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20080207143534.776313000@linux.vnet.ibm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: 20080207142842.852003000@linux.vnet.ibm.com

[-- Attachment #1: 714-afiucv-txdone.diff --]
[-- Type: text/plain, Size: 1705 bytes --]

From: Ursula Braun <braunu@de.ibm.com>

The loop in iucv_callback_txdone presumes existence of an entry
with msg->tag in the send_skb_q list. In error cases this
assumption might be wrong and might cause an endless loop.
Loop is rewritten to guarantee loop end in case of missing
msg->tag entry in send_skb_q.
