[ Upstream commit6f67fbf819] The `shift` variable which indicates the offset in the string at which to start matching the pattern is initialized to `bm->patlen - 1`, but it is not reset when a new block is retrieved. This means the implemen- tation may start looking at later and later positions in each successive block and miss occurrences of the pattern at the beginning. E.g., consider a HTTP packet held in a non-linear skb, where the HTTP request line occurs in the second block: [... 52 bytes of packet headers ...] GET /bmtest HTTP/1.1\r\nHost: www.example.com\r\n\r\n and the pattern is "GET /bmtest". Once the first block comprising the packet headers has been examined, `shift` will be pointing to somewhere near the end of the block, and so when the second block is examined the request line at the beginning will be missed. Reinitialize the variable for each new block.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
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.
