[v1] net: ethernet: aeroflex: fix potential memory leak in greth_start_xmit_gbit()

[PATCH net] net: ethernet: aeroflex: fix potential memory leak in greth_start_xmit_gbit()

Posted by Wang Hai 1 month, 2 weeks ago

The greth_start_xmit_gbit() returns NETDEV_TX_OK without freeing skb
in case of skb->len being too long, add dev_kfree_skb() to fix it.

dev_kfree_skb(skb) is already part of the error handling, one line above
the "out" label. Why don't you just add another label which includes
dev_kfree_skb(skb) and goto that label?

Hi, Gerhard.

Thanks for the suggestion, I just sent the v2 version.
