[PKT_SCHED] netem: Fix slab corruption with netem (2nd try)
CONFIG_DEBUG_SLAB found the following bug: netem_enqueue() in sch_netem.c gets a pointer inside a slab object: struct netem_skb_cb *cb = (struct netem_skb_cb *)skb->cb; But then, the slab object may be freed: skb = skb_unshare(skb, GFP_ATOMIC) cb is still pointing inside the freed skb, so here is a patch to initialize cb later, and make it clear that initializing it sooner is a bad idea. [From Stephen Hemminger: leave cb unitialized in order to let gcc complain in case of use before initialization] Signed-off-by: Guillaume Chazarain <guichaz@yahoo.fr> Signed-off-by: David S.
