A recent change to the checksum code removed usage of some extra arguments, alongside with storage on the stack for those, and the stack pointer no longer needed to be adjusted in the function prologue. But a left over subtraction wasn't removed in the function epilogue, causing the function to return with the stack pointer moved 16 bytes away from where it should have. This corrupted local state and lead to weird crashes. This simply removes the leftover instruction from the epilogue.

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.
