Subject: [PATCH net-next v2 6/6] hv_netvsc: set nvdev link after populating chn_table
Date: Fri, 13 May 2016 13:55:25 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1463140525-27338-7-git-send-email-vkuznets@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1463140525-27338-1-git-send-email-vkuznets@redhat.com>
Crash in netvsc_send() is observed when netvsc device is re-created on
mtu change/set channels. The crash is caused by dereferencing of NULL
channel pointer which comes from chn_table. The root cause is a mixture
of two facts:
- we set nvdev pointer in net_device_context in alloc_net_device()
before we populate chn_table.
- we populate chn_table[0] only.
The issue could be papered over by checking channel != NULL in
netvsc_send() but populating the whole chn_table and writing the
nvdev pointer afterwards seems more appropriate.
