[openib-general] [PATCH] ipoib_ib.c - wrong pointer memory access bug

[Leonid Arsh]

Hello,
   Trying to understand the problem with "RUNNING" network interface
status when a cable is disconnected, I found an error in
ipoib_ib_dev_flush() function.
   Although this patch doesn't fix the "RUNNING" status problem yet, it
fixes a serious wrong pointer memory access bug.
