Hello David, here you have our patchset for net/linux-4.2 which contains only patches that we think to be important (meaning they fix critical crashes/misbehaviours actually reported by some users). Patch 1 (by me) is preventing DAT from injecting replies received from the mesh into the LAN which would confuse a L2 bridge. Patch 2 introduces several NULL checks in order to prevent spurious kernel crashes due to NULL pointer deferences, by Marek Lindnder. Patches 3, still by Marek, prevent accidental double deletions of tt_local_entry objects from their own lists which would lead to a kernel crash. Patch 4 by Simon Wunderlich fixes a memory leak which is triggered by the missing initialization of the bandwidth_up/down fields of the bat-GW struct. If possible, I'd recommend to consider all these patches for inclusion in the stable releases. Please pull or let me know if anything else is wrong! Thanks a lot David, Antonio The following changes since commit 2475b22526d70234ecfe4a1ff88aed69badefba9: xen-netback: Allocate fraglist early to avoid complex rollback (2015-08-03 22:23:03 -0700) are available in the git repository at: git://git.open-mesh.org/linux-merge.git tags/batman-adv-fix-for-davem for you to fetch changes up to 27a4d5efd417b6ef3190e9af357715532d4617a3: batman-adv: initialize up/down values when adding a gateway (2015-08-05 00:31:47 +0200) ---------------------------------------------------------------- Included changes: - prevent DAT from replying on behalf of local clients and confuse L2 bridges - fix crash on double list removal of TT objects (tt_local_entry) - fix crash due to missing NULL checks - initialize bw values for new GWs objects to prevent memory leak ---------------------------------------------------------------- Antonio Quartulli (1): batman-adv: avoid DAT to mess up LAN state Marek Lindner (2): batman-adv: fix kernel crash due to missing NULL checks batman-adv: protect tt_local_entry from concurrent delete events Simon Wunderlich (1): batman-adv: initialize up/down values when adding a gateway net/batman-adv/distributed-arp-table.c | 18 +++++++++++++----- net/batman-adv/gateway_client.c | 2 ++ net/batman-adv/soft-interface.c | 3 +++ net/batman-adv/translation-table.c | 29 ++++++++++++++++++++++++----- 4 files changed, 42 insertions(+), 10 deletions(-) -- 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
