X-Git-Tag: v2.6.15-rc1~1^2~1 X-Git-Url: http://git.cascardo.eti.br/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=19c7e9eef503dc1ae926f3d26c56f88bee568d7b;p=cascardo%2Flinux.git [SCTP]: Fix ia64 NaT consumption fault with sctp_sideffect commands. On ia64, it is possible to get NaT Consumption Fault and a kernel panic when initializing sctp sideeffect commands arguments. The union sctp_arg_t contains different sized elements and when loading a smaller sized element (32 or 16 bits), it is possible for a speculative load to fail and result in a NaT bit set which causes a kernel crash. The easy way to get around it is to load the largerst member of the union. Signed-off-by: Vladislav Yasevich Signed-off-by: Sridhar Samudrala Signed-off-by: David S.
