[PATCH] : Fix check for underflow
http://bugme.osdl.org/show_bug.cgi?id=4279 Summary: When I try to start vpnc the net/core/skbuff.c:91 crash This check is wrong, gcc optimizes it away: if ((len -= sizeof(pi)) > len) return -EINVAL; This could be responsible for the BUG. If len is 2 or 3 and TUN_NO_PI isn't set it underflows. alloc_skb() allocates len + 2, which is 0 or 1 byte. skb_reserve tries to reserve 2 bytes and things explode in skb_put.
