[PATCH 0/3] Fix kernel panic when calling tcp_(v4/v6)_md5_do_lookup

From: Gui Jianfeng
Date: Tue Aug 05 2008 - 05:26:06 EST


If the following packet flow happen, kernel will panic.
MathineA MathineB
SYN
---------------------->
SYN+ACK
<----------------------
ACK(bad seq)
---------------------->
When a bad seq ACK is received, tcp_v4_md5_do_lookup(skb->sk, ip_hdr(skb)->daddr))
is finally called by tcp_v4_reqsk_send_ack(), but the first parameter(skb->sk) is
NULL at that moment, so kernel panic happens.
This patch set fix this issue.

Below is the OOPS output:
