[PATCH 4.17 065/101] net: lan78xx: Fix race in tx pending skb size calculation

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Fri Jul 20 2018 - 08:45:53 EST


4.17-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Stefan Wahren <stefan.wahren@xxxxxxxx>

commit dea39aca1d7aef1e2b95b07edeacf04cc8863a2e upstream.

The skb size calculation in lan78xx_tx_bh is in race with the start_xmit,
which could lead to rare kernel oopses. So protect the whole skb walk with
a spin lock. As a benefit we can unlink the skb directly.

This patch was tested on Raspberry Pi 3B+
