2.6.27-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us know. ------------------ From: David Rientjes commit e1e23bb0513520035ec934fa3483507cb6648b7c upstream x86: avoid dereferencing beyond stack + THREAD_SIZE It's possible for get_wchan() to dereference past task->stack + THREAD_SIZE while iterating through instruction pointers if fp equals the upper boundary, causing a kernel panic.
