      bridge: Fix mglist corruption that leads to memory corruption · 6b0d6a9b
      Herbert Xu authored
      The list mp->mglist is used to indicate whether a multicast group
      is active on the bridge interface itself as opposed to one of the
      constituent interfaces in the bridge.
      
      Unfortunately the operation that adds the mp->mglist node to the
      list neglected to check whether it has already been added.  This
      leads to list corruption in the form of nodes pointing to itself.
      
      Normally this would be quite obvious as it would cause an infinite
      loop when walking the list.  However, as this list is never actually
      walked (which means that we don't really need it, I'll get rid of
      it in a subsequent patch), this instead is hidden until we perform
      a delete operation on the affected nodes.
      
      As the same node may now be pointed to by more than one node, the
      delete operations can then cause modification of freed memory.
      
      This was observed in practice to cause corruption in 512-byte slabs,
      most commonly leading to crashes in jbd2.
      
      Thanks to Josef Bacik for pointing me in the right direction.

      ath9k: Fix possible double free of PAPRD skb's · 9cf04dcc
      Mohammed Shafi Shajakhan authored
      This patch reverts the following commit
      ath9k: remove bfs_paprd_timestamp from struct ath_buf_state
      
      Under high interference/noisy environment conditions where PAPRD frames
      fails heavily introduces a possibility of double freeing skb's and causes
      kernel panic after some time.This patch reverts back to the original approach
      of using paprd_timestamp before freeing the PAPRD frame skb's
