From: Antonio Quartulli <ordex@autistici.org> Date: Thu, 18 Oct 2012 21:24:53 +0200 > here are two fixes intended for net. The first one fixes the CRC computation > used to check for broadcast packet duplicates. The wrong result lead to many > (more than 80%) broadcast packets being dropped and so making the network very > slow and mostly unusable. Think about all the ARP or DHCP requests not going > through. > > The second patch fixes a potential race condition, still in the same duplicated > broadcast check procedure, which can lead to wrong outcomes under certain > circumstances. Pulled, thanks. > I would also like to enqueue patch 1/2 for sending to stable-{3.5/3.6}. Feel free to submit this to -stable once it hits Linus's tree.
