Subject: [PATCH] hv_netvsc: Make sure out channel is fully opened on send
Date: Wed, 26 Sep 2018 18:34:19 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1537979659-26979-1-git-send-email-mgamal@redhat.com> (raw)

Dring high network traffic changes to network interface parameters
such as number of channels or MTU can cause a kernel panic with a NULL
pointer dereference. This is due to netvsc_device_remove() being
called and deallocating the channel ring buffers, which can then be
accessed by netvsc_send_pkt() before they're allocated on calling
netvsc_device_add()

The patch fixes this problem by checking the channel state and returning
ENODEV if not yet opened. We also move the call to hv_ringbuf_avail_percent()
which may access the uninitialized ring buffer.
