If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. >From b77b2637b39ecc380bb08992380d7d48452b0872 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jon Mason <jon.mason@xxxxxxxxx> Date: Fri, 1 Feb 2013 15:25:37 -0700 Subject: NTB: Link toggle memory leak From: Jon Mason <jon.mason@xxxxxxxxx> commit b77b2637b39ecc380bb08992380d7d48452b0872 upstream. Each link-up will allocate a new NTB receive buffer when the NTB properties are negotiated with the remote system. These allocations did not check for existing buffers and thus did not free them. Now, the driver will check for an existing buffer and free it if not of the correct size, before trying to alloc a new one.
