-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-in there is no longer valid.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.
