No, I'm not aware of this. I know almost nothing about what all that stuff is doing. For me that change above just introduced an oops through an immediate NULL pointer dereference in br_change_mtu(). > read_only in this context means : In case this must be written, we make > a COW first > (allocate a piece of memory, copy the source in it before applying any > change) > > It would be nice you send us the stack trace, so that we can have a clue > of whats going on. Here is the text as found in my first mail: ---- Commit 42923465fb8d025a2b5153f2e7ab1e6e1058bf00 does here what it should prevent, it introduces NULL a dereference. The above commit uses dst_init_metrics() which sets the metrics as read only. As result br_change_mtu() dies in dst_metric_set() which calls dst_metrics_write_ptr() which calls dst->ops->cow_metrics() if the metrics are read only. I don't have a system with 2.6.39.1 or 3.0-rcN ready which writes an oops to somewhere else than the screen. Just set up a bridge and change the MTU for the IF, that will trigger the oops. ---- Here is the oops: ---- [ 136.546023] BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at (null) [ 136.546038] IP: [< (null)>] (null) [ 136.546046] *pde = 00000000 [ 136.546052] Oops: 0000 [#1] SMP [ 136.546059] last sysfs file: /sys/devices/virtual/net/mybridge/uevent [ 136.546066] Modules linked in: sit tunnel4 tun iwlagn sch_sfq bridge stp llc nfs lockd auth_rpcgss nfs_acl sunrpc ipt_LOG xt_recent xt_state iptable_filter iptable_nat nf_nat nf_conntrack_ipv4 nf_defrag_ipv4 xt_addrtype xt_dscp xt_iprange xt_DSCP xt_set ip_set nfnetlink ip6t_LOG xt_limit ip6table_filter xt_string xt_owner xt_multiport xt_hashlimit xt_conntrack xt_NFQUEUE xt_mark xt_connmark nf_conntrack ip6_tables snd_seq_oss snd_seq_midi_event snd_seq snd_seq_device snd_pcm_oss snd_mixer_oss uinput ipv6 dm_mod nvidiafb fb_ddc i2c_algo_bit vgastate nvidia(P) arc4 uvcvideo videodev ecb snd_hda_codec_realtek iwl4965 snd_hda_intel iwl_legacy snd_hda_codec uhci_hcd firewire_ohci mac80211 sdhci_pci snd_hwdep snd_pcm sdhci ehci_hcd intel_agp firewire_core cfg80211 snd_timer asus_laptop snd e1000e usbcore sparse_keymap rfkill tpm_infineon crc_itu_t intel_gtt mmc_core iTCO_wdt tpm_tis ata_piix agpgart tpm video soundcore sg tpm_bios joydev snd_page_alloc [last unloaded: microcode] [ 136.546235] [ 136.546243] Pid: 8415, comm: ip Tainted: P 2.6.39.1-00006-g40545b7 #103 ASUSTeK Computer Inc.
