This is a note to let you know that I have just added a patch titled net: rds: use correct size for max unacked packets and bytes to the linux-3.16.y-queue branch of the 3.16.y-ckt extended stable tree which can be found at: http://kernel.ubuntu.com/git?p=ubuntu/linux.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/linux-3.16.y-queue This patch is scheduled to be released in version 3.16.7-ckt8. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to this tree, please reply to this email. For more information about the 3.16.y-ckt tree, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/Dev/ExtendedStable Thanks. -Luis ------ From 8f0bdbadd515640b6c7b463d07dda96a5091509c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Sasha Levin <sasha.levin@oracle.com> Date: Tue, 3 Feb 2015 08:55:58 -0500 Subject: net: rds: use correct size for max unacked packets and bytes commit db27ebb111e9f69efece08e4cb6a34ff980f8896 upstream. Max unacked packets/bytes is an int while sizeof(long) was used in the sysctl table. This means that when they were getting read we'd also leak kernel memory to userspace along with the timeout values. Signed-off-by: Sasha Levin <sasha.levin@oracle.com> Signed-off-by: David S.
