Subject: gro: Fix potential use after free
Date: Sat, 27 Dec 2008 09:44:01 +1100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20081226224401.GA22329@gondor.apana.org.au> (raw)

Hi Dave:

While implementing GRO support for page frags, I found a little bug
in the original code.

gro: Fix potential use after free

The initial skb may have been freed after napi_gro_complete in
napi_gro_receive if it was merged into an existing packet.  Thus
we cannot check same_flow (which indicates whether it was merged)
after calling napi_gro_complete.

This patch fixes this by saving the same_flow status before the
call to napi_gro_complete.
