Bug#610838: Bonding device + AF_PACKET socket will crash in some bonding modes
Package: linux-2.6
Version: 2.6.32-30
Severity: important
Tags: upstream fixed-upstream
Commit ab12811c89e88f2e66746790b1fe4469ccb7bdd9 "bonding: correctly
process non-linear skbs", backported in stable 2.6.32.23 and Debian's
2.6.32-24, changed some functions in the bonding driver so that they
now modify the skbs they handle. When AF_PACKET sockets are used on a
bonding device, these functions can receive shared skbs and this
results in an 'oops' since it is not valid to modify a shared skb.
