We decided to get rid of the old Git history and start a new one for several reasons: *) Allow / enforce only high-quality commits (which was not the case for many commits in the history), have a policy that is more close to the one from the Linux kernel. With high quality commits, we mean code that is logically split into commits and commit messages that are signed-off and have a proper subject and message body. We do not allow automatic Github merges anymore, since they are total bullshit. However, we will either cherry-pick your patches or pull them manually. *) The old archive was about ~27MB for no particular good reason. This basically derived from the bad decision that also some PDF files where stored there. From this moment onwards, no binary objects are allowed to be stored in this repository anymore. The old archive is not wiped away from the Internet. You will still be able to find it, e.g. on git.cryptoism.org etc. Signed-off-by: Daniel Borkmann <dborkman@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Tobias Klauser <tklauser@distanz.ch>
, ipoib driver copies data from the path pointer in the CM/tx object, the path object might be invalid at the point and memory corruption will happened later when now the CM driver will try using that data. The next scenario demonstrates it: neigh_add_path --> ipoib_cm_create_tx --> queue_work (pointer to path is in the cm/tx struct) #while the work is still in the queue, #the port goes down and causes the ipoib_flush_paths: ipoib_flush_paths --> path_free --> kfree(path) #at this point the work scheduled starts. ipoib_cm_tx_start --> copy from the (invalid)path pointer: (memcpy(&pathrec, &p->path->pathrec, sizeof pathrec);) -> memory corruption. To fix that the driver now starts the CM/tx connection only if that specific path exists in the general paths database. This check is protected with the relevant locks, and uses the gid from the neigh member in the CM/tx object which is valid according to the ref count that was taken by the CM/tx.
