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case, when TCP skb is being retransmitted, the +pointer to the frag list is being reused, while the data +in there is no longer valid.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. + +Signed-off-by: Sara Sharon <sara.sharon@intel.com> +--- + +--- a/net/mac80211/status.c ++++ b/net/mac80211/status.c +@@ -550,6 +550,11 @@ static void ieee80211_report_used_skb(st + } + + ieee80211_led_tx(local); ++ ++ if (skb_has_frag_list(skb)) { ++ kfree_skb_list(skb_shinfo(skb)->frag_list); ++ skb_shinfo(skb)->frag_list = NULL; ++ } + } + + /* |
