Linus Torvalds 5f520fc318 While doing tests on tracing over the network, I found that the packets
were getting corrupted. In the process I found three bugs. One was the
 culprit, but the other two scared me. After deeper investigation, they
 were not as major as I thought they were, due to a signed compared to
 an unsigned that prevented a negative number from doing actual harm.
 
 The two bigger bugs:
 
  - Mask the ring buffer data page length. There are data flags at the
    high bits of the length field. These were not cleared via the
    length function, and the length could return a negative number.
    (Although the number returned was unsigned, but was assigned to a
    signed number) Luckily, this value was compared to PAGE_SIZE which is
    unsigned and kept it from entering the path that could have caused damage.
 
  - Check the page usage before reusing the ring buffer reader page.
    TCP increments the page ref when passing the page off to the network.
    The page is passed back to the ring buffer for use on free. But
    the page could still be in use by the TCP stack.
 
 Minor bugs:
 
  - Related to the first bug. No need to clear out the unused ring buffer
    data before sending to user space. It is now done by the ring buffer
    code itself.
 
  - Reset pointers after free on error path. There were some cases in
    the error path that pointers were freed but not set to NULL, and could
    have them freed again, having a pointer freed twice.
