Subject: [PKT_SCHED] netem: Fix slab corruption with netem (2nd try)
X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=89e1df74f841fc31e81838d30594c4eff01859f8;p=GitHub%2Fmt8127%2Fandroid_kernel_alcatel_ttab.git

[PKT_SCHED] netem: Fix slab corruption with netem (2nd try)

CONFIG_DEBUG_SLAB found the following bug:
netem_enqueue() in sch_netem.c gets a pointer inside a slab object:
struct netem_skb_cb *cb = (struct netem_skb_cb *)skb->cb;
But then, the slab object may be freed:
skb = skb_unshare(skb, GFP_ATOMIC)
cb is still pointing inside the freed skb, so here is a patch to
initialize cb later, and make it clear that initializing it sooner
is a bad idea.

[From Stephen Hemminger: leave cb unitialized in order to let gcc
complain in case of use before initialization]
