Was there any update to this patch , I am also seeing kernel crash in 
kni_net_rx_normal dueing skb_put which is happening for chained mbufs.

Hi Yangchao,

The problem you described seems valid, when current mbuf and the mbuf pointed bu
next pointer from different (huge)pages, address calculation will be wrong.

Can you able to reproduce the issue, or recognized the problem theoretically?

This will cause overwrite the 'tx_offload' via 'next_pa', we don't use
tx_offload in KNI but not sure about removing potential use for future.

What do you think about converting 'm->next' to physical address before putting
them into 'rx_q', and in kernel side after data copied to skb convert 'm->next'
back to virtual address before putting it into 'free_q' ?
I think both address conversion can be possible to do, a little tricky because
address conversion should be calculated in next mbuf and previous mbuf->next in
the chain should be updated.
