Doug Berger says: ==================== bcmgenet: Fragmented SKB corrections Two issues were observed in a review of the bcmgenet driver support for fragmented SKBs which are addressed by this patch set. The first addresses a problem that could occur if the driver is not able to DMA map a fragment of the SKB. This would be a highly unusual event but it would leave the hardware descriptors in an invalid state which should be prevented. The second is a hazard that could occur if the driver is able to reclaim the first control block of a fragmented SKB before all of its fragments have completed processing by the hardware. In this case the SKB could be freed leading to reuse of memory that is still in use by hardware. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
