If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit c2afbc203ffa464108023f71794acf724ee061bd Author: Miquel Raynal <miquel.raynal@xxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Tue Jan 25 13:14:23 2022 +0100 net: ieee802154: at86rf230: Stop leaking skb's [ Upstream commit e5ce576d45bf72fd0e3dc37eff897bfcc488f6a9 ] Upon error the ieee802154_xmit_complete() helper is not called. Only ieee802154_wake_queue() is called manually. In the Tx case we then leak the skb structure. Free the skb structure upon error before returning when appropriate. As the 'is_tx = 0' cannot be moved in the complete handler because of a possible race between the delay in switching to STATE_RX_AACK_ON and a new interrupt, we introduce an intermediate 'was_tx' boolean just for this purpose. There is no Fixes tag applying here, many changes have been made on this area and the issue kind of always existed.
