Subject: [PATCH net] gianfar: simplify FCS handling and fix memory leak
Date: Thu, 22 Feb 2018 11:05:33 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20180222190533.GA179652@spacex.com> (raw)
Previously, buffer descriptors containing only the frame check sequence
(FCS) were skipped and not added to the skb. However, the page reference
count was still incremented, leading to a memory leak.
Fixing this inside gfar_add_rx_frag() is difficult due to reserved
memory handling and page reuse. Instead, move the FCS handling to
gfar_process_frame() and trim off the FCS before passing the skb up the
networking stack.
