4.5.0 kernel still gets a NULL ptr. I have kernel core dumps if anyone knows
what to look for.
I am now trying 4.2 kernel.

Could this be caused by us
Hi Rune,
As far as I can see the fix is present in the 4.5.0 code (subscr.c, line 299),
so it may be that there still is a problem.
I suspect you will have to wait until Partha is back from Easter leave to get a
better answer to this.

Hi,
That is the one. However, I see in a different mail from Rune Torgersen that
the problem might still be there, despite the fix.
Just try 4.5.0 and see if you get the same problem.

Hi,
This is not a known problem. Looking at the dump and the code it may
look as if somebody is sending in a TIPC_ADDR_NAMEd message with a zero
sockaddr pointer.
This should of course not lead to a kernel crash, but it might still
give a hint of what is triggering the problem, so you can get fu
Ok. I'm going to try an older kernel (3.14.1) to see if that works for us until
a fix is found.

I could not able to move 4.5.0 but I could merge all the following tipc
changes in 4.5.0 (except merge git). If I need to pickup any other fixes
please let me know.
Also, I do see there are discussions about "Dropping name table update ..."
issue but don't see any solution. If there is a solution
Regarding "Dropping name table" ...
It seems working if TIPC_ZONE_SCOPE is replaced by TIPC_CLUSTER_ZONE.
Could you let me know where the change should be applied (ie:file/function)?

No, that turned out to not matter.
In my case, upgrading to 4.5.0 (or down to 3.14.1 or 4.2.0) seemed to fix it.
Anyways, it is the scope field in the sockaddr_tipc class when passed to bind()
on a receive socket.

It looks to me from my dmesg dump that I'm actually crashing on line 285 in
subscr.c.
