[PATCH 3.2 11/87] rtlwifi: fix memory leak for USB device

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

 



3.2.77-rc1 review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Peter Wu <peter@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

commit 17bc55864f81dd730d05f09b1641312a7990d636 upstream.

Free skb for received frames with a wrong checksum. This can happen
pretty rapidly, exhausting all memory.

This fixes a memleak (detected with kmemleak). Originally found while
using monitor mode, but it also appears during managed mode (once the
link is up).
