[PATCH 3.18 17/20] hyperv: Fix the error processing in netvsc_send()

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

 



3.18-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

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

From: Haiyang Zhang <haiyangz@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit d953ca4ddf71aa91a4596b2ff7ff1598f6ad4708 ]

The existing code frees the skb in EAGAIN case, in which the skb will be
retried from upper layer and used again.
Also, the existing code doesn't free send buffer slot in error case, because
there is no completion message for unsent packets.
This patch fixes these problems.

(Please also include this patch for stable trees. Thanks!)
