[PATCH v2] netfilter: release skbuf when nlmsg put fail

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

 



When system is under heavy loading, the __nfulnl_send() may may failed
to put nlmsg into skbuf of nfulnl_instance. If not clear the skbuff on failed,
the __nfulnl_send() will still try to put next nlmsg onto this half-full skbuf
and cause the user program can never receive packet.

This patch fix this issue by releasing skbuf immediately after nlmst put
failed.
