NET: mkiss: Fix panic
If a USB-to-serial adapter is unplugged, the driver re-initializes, with dev->hard_header_len and dev->addr_len set to zero, instead of the correct values. If then a packet is sent through the half-dead interface, the kernel will panic due to running out of headroom in the skb when pushing for the AX.25 headers resulting in this panic: [<c0595468>] (skb_panic) from [<c0401f70>] (skb_push+0x4c/0x50) [<c0401f70>] (skb_push) from [<bf0bdad4>] (ax25_hard_header+0x34/0xf4 [ax25]) [<bf0bdad4>] (ax25_hard_header [ax25]) from [<bf0d05d4>] (ax_header+0x38/0x40 [mkiss]) [<bf0d05d4>] (ax_header [mkiss]) from [<c041b584>] (neigh_compat_output+0x8c/0xd8) [<c041b584>] (neigh_compat_output) from [<c043e7a8>] (ip_finish_output+0x2a0/0x914) [<c043e7a8>] (ip_finish_output) from [<c043f948>] (ip_output+0xd8/0xf0) [<c043f948>] (ip_output) from [<c043f04c>] (ip_local_out_sk+0x44/0x48) This patch makes mkiss behave like the 6pack driver. 6pack does not panic. In 6pack.c sp_setup() (same function name here) the values for dev->hard_header_len and dev->addr_len are set to the same values as in my mkiss patch.
