Subject: [PATCH] RxRPC: Allocate tokens with kzalloc to avoid oops in rxrpc_destroy
Date: Fri, 25 Feb 2011 15:33:17 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20110225153317.27901.95278.stgit@warthog.procyon.org.uk> (raw)

From: Anton Blanchard <anton@samba.org>

With slab poisoning enabled, I see the following oops:

Unable to handle kernel paging request for data at address 0x6b6b6b6b6b6b6b73
...
NIP [c0000000006bc61c] .rxrpc_destroy+0x44/0x104
LR [c0000000006bc618] .rxrpc_destroy+0x40/0x104
Call Trace:
[c0000000feb2bc00] [c0000000006bc618] .rxrpc_destroy+0x40/0x104 (unreliable)

[c0000000feb2bf90] [c000000000020e00] .kernel_thread+0x54/0x70

We aren't initialising token->next, but the code in destroy_context relies
on the list being NULL terminated. Use kzalloc to zero out all the fields.
