From 66c46d741e2e60f0e8b625b80edb0ab820c46d7a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Herbert Xu Date: Sat, 29 Jan 2011 20:44:54 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] gro: Reset dev pointer on reuse On older kernels the VLAN code may zero skb->dev before dropping it and causing it to be reused by GRO. Unfortunately we didn't reset skb->dev in that case which causes the next GRO user to get a bogus skb->dev pointer. This particular problem no longer happens with the current upstream kernel due to changes in VLAN processing. However, for correctness we should still reset the skb->dev pointer in the GRO reuse function in case a future user does the same thing. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu Signed-off-by: David S.
