Subject: AX25 ax25_out: check skb for NULL in ax25_kick()
Date: Wed, 16 Apr 2008 18:01:50 -0700 [thread overview]

[-- Attachment #1: ax25-ax25_out-check-skb-for-null-in-ax25_kick.patch --]
[-- Type: text/plain, Size: 1801 bytes --]
-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us know.
---------------------
From: Jarek Poplawski <jarkao2@gmail.com>
Upstream commit: f47b7257c7368698eabff6fd7b340071932af640
According to some OOPS reports ax25_kick tries to clone NULL skbs
sometimes. It looks like a race with ax25_clear_queues(). Probably
there is no need to add more than a simple check for this yet.
Another report suggested there are probably also cases where ax25
->paclen == 0 can happen in ax25_output(); this wasn't confirmed
during testing but let's leave this debugging check for some time.
