Therefore freeing the SG list is premature and incorrect, as it will get freed in either the tx_complete/tx_done path or upon URB submission failure. > spin_unlock_irqrestore(&dev->txq.lock, flags); > netdev_dbg(dev->net, "Delaying transmission for resumption\n"); Jack -- The Qualcomm Innovation Center, Inc. is a member of Code Aurora Forum, a Linux Foundation Collaborative Project
