Date: Mon, 28 Jul 2014 18:34:23 -0700 (PDT) From: David Miller <davem@...emloft.net> To: jon.maloy@...csson.com Cc: netdev@...r.kernel.org, paul.gortmaker@...driver.com, erik.hugne@...csson.com, ying.xue@...driver.com, maloy@...jonn.com, tipc-discussion@...ts.sourceforge.net Subject: Re: [PATCH net 1/1] tipc: make tipc_buf_append() more robust From: Jon Maloy <jon.maloy@...csson.com> Date: Fri, 25 Jul 2014 14:48:09 -0400 > As per comment from David Miller, we try to make the buffer reassembly > function more resilient to user errors than it is today. > > - We check that the "*buf" parameter always is set, since this is > mandatory input. > > - We ensure that *buf->next always is set to NULL before linking in > the buffer, instead of relying of the caller to have done this. > > - We ensure that the "tail" pointer in the head buffer's control > block is initialized to NULL when the first fragment arrives. > > Signed-off-by: Jon Maloy <jon.maloy@...csson.com> Applied to net-next, since this doesn't really fix any bugs. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netdev" in the body of a message to majordomo@...r.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
