net: tracepoint of net_dev_xmit sees freed skb and causes panic
Because there is a possibility that skb is kfree_skb()ed and zero cleared after ndo_start_xmit, we should not see the contents of skb like skb->len and skb->dev->name after ndo_start_xmit. But trace_net_dev_xmit does that and causes panic by NULL pointer dereference. This patch fixes trace_net_dev_xmit not to see the contents of skb directly. If you want to reproduce this panic, 1. Get tracepoint of net_dev_xmit on 2. Create 2 guests on KVM 2. Make 2 guests use virtio_net 4. Execute netperf from one to another for a long time as a network burden 5. host will panic(It takes about 30 minutes) Signed-off-by: Koki Sanagi <sanagi.koki@jp.fujitsu.com> Signed-off-by: David S.
