In isdn_ppp_write(), the header (i.e., protobuf) of the buffer is fetched twice from userspace. The first fetch is used to peek at the protocol of the message and reset the huptimer if necessary; while the second fetch copies in the whole buffer. However, given that buf resides in userspace memory, a user process can race to change its memory content across fetches. By doing so, we can either avoid resetting the huptimer for any type of packets (by first setting proto to PPP_LCP and later change to the actual type) or force resetting the huptimer for LCP packets. This patch changes this double-fetch behavior into two single fetches decided by condition (lp->isdn_device < 0 || lp->isdn_channel <0).

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.
