Message-Id: <ec90cfecc3489a9959757243c12ddbb8f72aacdd.1385057355.git.tgraf@suug.ch> Date: Thu, 21 Nov 2013 19:13:33 +0100 From: Thomas Graf <tgraf@...g.ch> To: jesse@...ira.com, davem@...emloft.net Cc: dev@...nvswitch.org, netdev@...r.kernel.org, dborkman@...hat.com, ffusco@...hat.com, fleitner@...hat.com, eric.dumazet@...il.com, bhutchings@...arflare.com Subject: [PATCH net-next 2/8] netlink: Avoid netlink mmap alloc if msg size exceeds frame size An insufficent ring frame size configuration can lead to an unnecessary skb allocation for every Netlink message. Check frame size before taking the queue lock and allocating the skb and re-check with lock to be safe.
