From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 From: Steven Rostedt Subject: [PATCH 0/2] [BUG FIXES - 3.10.27] sit: More backports Date: Tue, 28 Jan 2014 15:57:56 -0500 Message-ID: <20140128205756.074448668@goodmis.org> Cc: Nicolas Dichtel , stable , Clark Williams , "Luis Claudio R. Goncalves" , John Kacur To: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org, netdev@vger.kernel.org Return-path: Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org List-Id: netdev.vger.kernel.org At Red Hat we base our real-time kernel off of 3.10.27 and do lots of stress testing on that kernel. This has discovered some bugs that we can hit with the vanilla 3.10.27 kernel (no -rt patches applied). I sent out a bug fix that can cause a crash with the current 3.10.27 when you add and then remove the sit module. That patch is obsoleted by these patches, as that patch was not enough. A previous patch that was backported: Upstream commit 205983c43700ac3a81e7625273a3fa83cd2759b5 sit: allow to use rtnl ops on fb tunnel Had a depenency on commit 5e6700b3bf98 ("sit: add support of x-netns") which was not backported. The dependency was only on part of that commit which is what I backported. The other upstream commit 9434266f2c645d4fcf62a03a8e36ad8075e37943 sit: fix use after free of fb_tunnel_dev fixes another bug we encountered, it also fixes the 3.10.27 bug where removing the sit module cause the crash. This is the patch that obsoletes my previous patch. -- Steve Steven Rostedt (Red Hat) (1): sit: Unregister sit devices with rtnl_link_ops Willem de Bruijn (1): sit: fix use after free of fb_tunnel_dev ---- net/ipv6/sit.c | 30 +++++++++++++++++++++++++----- 1 file changed, 25 insertions(+), 5 deletions(-)
