	Because there is a possibility that skb is kfree_skb()ed and zero cleared after ndo_start_xmit, we should not see the contents of skb like skb->len and skb->dev->name after ndo_start_xmit. But trace_net_dev_xmit does that and causes panic by NULL pointer dereference. This patch fixes trace_net_dev_xmit not to see the contents of skb directly. If you want to reproduce this panic, 1. Get tracepoint of net_dev_xmit on 2. Create 2 guests on KVM 2. Make 2 guests use virtio_net 4. Execute netperf from one to another for a long time as a network burden 5. host will panic(It takes about 30 minutes) Signed-off-by: Koki Sanagi <sanagi.koki@jp.fujitsu.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

2010-09-07	netdev: Add tracepoints to netdev layer	Koki Sanagi
	This patch adds tracepoint to dev_queue_xmit, dev_hard_start_xmit, netif_rx and netif_receive_skb. These tracepoints help you to monitor network driver's input/output. <idle>-0 [001] 112447.902030: netif_rx: dev=eth1 skbaddr=f3ef0900 len=84 <idle>-0 [001] 112447.902039: netif_receive_skb: dev=eth1 skbaddr=f3ef0900 len=84 sshd-6828 [000] 112447.903257: net_dev_queue: dev=eth4 skbaddr=f3fca538 len=226 sshd-6828 [000] 112447.903260: net_dev_xmit: dev=eth4 skbaddr=f3fca538 len=226 rc=0 Signed-off-by: Koki Sanagi <sanagi.koki@jp.fujitsu.com> Acked-by: David S.
