[PATCH 1/3] mac-hwsim: don't leak memory on tx failure.

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



From: Ben Greear <greearb@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

It seems previous code did not properly clean up memory
if the packet could not be delivered to user-space.

I don't have a good way to test this, but hopefully
it is correct.
