[PATCH v3] mac80211: Fix ieee80211_amsdu_aggregate frag_tail bug

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

 



From: Chih-Kang Chang <gary.chang@xxxxxxxxxxx>

In ieee80211_amsdu_aggregate() set a pointer frag_tail point to the
end of skb_shinfo(head)->frag_list, and use it to bind other skb in
the end of this function. But when execute ieee80211_amsdu_aggregate()
->ieee80211_amsdu_realloc_pad()->pskb_expand_head(), the address of
skb_shinfo(head)->frag_list will be changed. However, the
ieee80211_amsdu_aggregate() not update frag_tail after call
pskb_expand_head(). That will cause the second skb can't bind to the
head skb appropriately.So we update the address of frag_tail to fix it.
