memory corruption in i2o
PATCH 1/1 memory corruption in i2o
Some weeks back "[email protected]" reported in
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-kernel&m=100633930427682&w=2
a bug in an i2o header file that causes kernel memory corruption. The obvious fix was posted several times; this one from Andreas Dilger
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-kernel&m=100688659819007&w=2
is typical. The fix appears not to have been picked up in 2.4.17-pre8. There is no i2o maintainer listed in MAINTAINERS.
With a 2.4.17 release candidate coming up, it's probably time to apply it.
The original posting noted several other similar bugs, for which it and subsequent postings suggested fixes, e.g.
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-kernel&m=100634117104111&w=2
Is anybody going to pick up _any_ of these fixes, or do they just rot until enough kernel crashes get reported with enough detail to implicate the identified bugs?

No hurry. I2O doesn't work in 2.4.16/17 anyway. If nobody elses fixes it I'll probably take a look at it in the new year
