[PATCH 2/6] brcmfmac: Fix double freeing in the fmac usb data path

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

 



From: Raveendran Somu <raveendran.somu@xxxxxxxxxxx>

When the brcmf_fws_process_skb() fails to get hanger slot for
queuing the skb, it tries to free the skb.
But the caller brcmf_netdev_start_xmit() of that funciton frees
the packet on error return value.
This causes the double freeing and which caused the kernel crash.
