This is a note to let you know that I have just added a patch titled xen-netback: correctly return errors from to the linux-3.5.y-queue branch of the 3.5.y.z extended stable tree which can be found at: http://kernel.ubuntu.com/git?p=ubuntu/linux.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/linux-3.5.y-queue If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to this tree, please reply to this email. For more information about the 3.5.y.z tree, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/Dev/ExtendedStable Thanks. -Luis ------ From 1022bcc03a236fd5537386ac8c2a864200d59f5e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: David Vrabel <david.vrabel@citrix.com> Date: Thu, 14 Feb 2013 03:18:57 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] xen-netback: correctly return errors from netbk_count_requests() commit 35876b5ffc154c357476b2c3bdab10feaf4bd8f0 upstream. netbk_count_requests() could detect an error, call netbk_fatal_tx_error() but return 0. The vif may then be used afterwards (e.g., in a call to netbk_tx_error(). Since netbk_fatal_tx_error() could set vif->refcnt to 1, the vif may be freed immediately after the call to netbk_fatal_tx_error() (e.g., if the vif is also removed).
