Subject: [PATCH] mac80211: free skb fraglist before freeing the skb
|
|
|
|
mac80211 uses the frag list to build AMSDU. When freeing
|
|
the skb, it may not be really freed, since someone is still
|
|
holding a reference to it.
|
|
In that case, when TCP skb is being retransmitted, the
|
|
pointer to the frag list is being reused, while the data
|
|
in there is no longer valid.
|
|
Since we will never get frag list from the network stack,
|
|
as mac80211 doesn't advertise the capability, we can safely
|
|
free and nullify it before releasing the SKB.
