Subject: [16/20] asix: fix infinite loop in rx_fixup()
Date: Tue, 10 Jan 2012 12:07:07 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20120110200851.192091728@clark.kroah.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20120110200902.GA5674@kroah.com>
2.6.32-longterm review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Aurelien Jacobs <aurel@gnuage.org>
commit 6c15d74defd38e7e7f8805392578b7a1d508097e upstream.
At this point if skb->len happens to be 2, the subsequant skb_pull(skb, 4)
call won't work and the skb->len won't be decreased and won't ever reach 0,
resulting in an infinite loop.
With an ASIX 88772 under heavy load, without this patch, rx_fixup() reaches
an infinite loop in less than a minute. With this patch applied,
no infinite loop even after hours of heavy load.
