This is a note to let you know that I have just added a patch titled macvtap: limit head length of skb allocated to the linux-3.11.y-queue branch of the 3.11.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-3.11.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 3.11.y.z tree, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/Dev/ExtendedStable Thanks. -Luis ------ From ec35b0601ce41a5e83a7a383e8e07065107c5c96 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jason Wang <jasowang@redhat.com> Date: Wed, 13 Nov 2013 14:00:40 +0800 Subject: macvtap: limit head length of skb allocated commit 16a3fa28630331e28208872fa5341ce210b901c7 upstream. We currently use hdr_len as a hint of head length which is advertised by guest. But when guest advertise a very big value, it can lead to an 64K+ allocating of kmalloc() which has a very high possibility of failure when host memory is fragmented or under heavy stress. The huge hdr_len also reduce the effect of zerocopy or even disable if a gso skb is linearized in guest. To solves those issues, this patch introduces an upper limit (PAGE_SIZE) of the head, which guarantees an order 0 allocation each time. Cc: Stefan Hajnoczi <stefanha@redhat.com> Cc: Michael S.
