Tejaswi Tanikella 3f01ddb962 slip: Check if rstate is initialized before uncompressing
On receiving a packet the state index points to the rstate which must be
used to fill up IP and TCP headers. But if the state index points to a
rstate which is unitialized, i.e. filled with zeros, it gets stuck in an
infinite loop inside ip_fast_csum trying to compute the ip checsum of a
header with zero length.

Adding a variable to indicate if the current rstate is initialized. If
such a packet arrives, move to toss state.

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.
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.
