[PATCH 176/241] net: Fix skb_under_panic oops in neigh_resolve_output

From: Herton Ronaldo Krzesinski
Date: Thu Dec 13 2012 - 09:11:31 EST


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

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

From: "ramesh.nagappa@xxxxxxxxx" <ramesh.nagappa@xxxxxxxxx>

commit e1f165032c8bade3a6bdf546f8faf61fda4dd01c upstream.

The retry loop in neigh_resolve_output() and neigh_connected_output()
call dev_hard_header() with out reseting the skb to network_header.
This causes the retry to fail with skb_under_panic. The fix is to
reset the network_header within the retry loop.
