Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.

hns_get_sset_count() returns HNS_NET_STATS_CNT and the data space allocated is not enough for ethtool_get_strings(), which will cause random memory corruption. When SLAB and DEBUG_SLAB are both enabled, memory corruptions like the the following can be observed without this patch: [ 43.115200] Slab corruption (Not tainted): Acpi-ParseExt start=ffff801fb0b69030, len=80 [ 43.115206] Redzone: 0x9f911029d006462/0x5f78745f31657070.
