[PATCH] i825xx: fix paging fault on znet_probe()

From: Fengguang Wu
Date: Sun Sep 02 2012 - 03:26:37 EST


In znet_probe(), strncmp() may access beyond 0x100000 and
trigger the below oops in kvm. Fix it by limiting the loop
under 0x100000-8. I suspect the limit could be further decreased
to 0x100000-sizeof(struct netidblk), however no datasheet at hand..
