Nitpicking: I think it would be easier / more readable to simply move the memset into the two ifs than introducing an extra function for just doing that.

Yes, this was just how my fix looked like initially, but I didn't like the resulting code duplication. Indeed, the extra function adds another point of code flow redirection. On the other hand, it implicitly points out that basically the same is done for both rings. In my point of view, both ways are equally acceptable. If you prefer the other one for mainline inclusion, just let me know and I submit an appropriate patch. > (Also don't cc stable, since David is deciding about this anyway.) Oh, OK. Thanks for the hint. Every time I wonder how to do this the right way, seems I haven't found the correct documentation for it yet. Moreover, stable@kernel.org isn't even valid. I shouldn't have trusted google (http://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/stable_kernel_rules.txt) over my local clones. ;) Best wishes, Phil Sutter Software Engineer

Yes, that'd be good, thanks. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netdev" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html

When releasing a packet socket, the routine packet_set_ring() is reused to free rings instead of allocating them. But when calling it for the first time, it fills req->tp_block_nr with the value of rb->pg_vec_len which in the second invocation makes it bail out since req->tp_block_nr is greater zero but req->tp_block_size is zero. This patch solves the problem by passing a zeroed auto-variable to packet_set_ring() upon each invocation from packet_release(). As far as I can tell, this issue exists even since 69e3c75 (net: TX_RING and packet mmap), i.e. the original inclusion of TX ring support into af_packet, but applies only to sockets with both RX and TX ring allocated, which is probably why this was unnoticed all the time.
