Symptom With vmtrace corruption log ON,
system panics in ltostr_close() if LAN
initialization fails when non-dlpi lan
configuration is specified.
Defect Description With vmtrace corruption log enabled
on the system, if lan LAM
initialization fails, the system panics
in ltostr_close() when trying to access
the elements of the data structure
stored in the 'q_ptr' field of the
streams queue. This was because the
pointer stored in the 'q_ptr' field would
get freed before the call to
ltostr_close() in case of a failure in the
lan LAM initialization, and the
subsequent access would be
dereferencing a stale pointer.
Resolution The code has been modified to remove
pointer references once the addresses
are freed, and subsequent accesses to
these pointers have a check for null
pointers before dereferencing the
same.
