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

 



From: KY Srinivasan <kys@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

This patch has been added to the 3.12 stable tree. If you have any
objections, please let us know.

===============

[ Upstream commit dedb845ded56ded1c62f5398a94ffa8615d4592d ]

After the packet is successfully sent, we should not touch the skb
as it may have been freed. This patch is based on the work done by
Long Li <longli@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>.

In this version of the patch I have fixed issues pointed out by David.
David, please queue this up for stable.
