While perusing the code in mac80211_hwsim, I notice what I think
is a memory leak:

Shouldn't there be an skb_free on the return result of skb_dequeue??

static void mac80211_hwsim_tx_frame_nl(struct ieee80211_hw *hw,
				       struct sk_buff *my_skb,
				       int dst_portid)
{
	struct sk_buff *skb;
	struct mac80211_hwsim_data *data = hw->priv;
	struct ieee80211_hdr *hdr = (struct ieee80211_hdr *) my_skb->data;
	struct ieee80211_tx_info *info = IEEE80211_SKB_CB(my_skb);
	void *msg_head;
	unsigned int hwsim_flags = 0;
	int i;
	struct hwsim_tx_rate tx_attempts[IEEE80211_TX_MAX_RATES];

	if (data->ps != PS_DISABLED)
		hdr->frame_control |= cpu_to_le16(IEEE80211_FCTL_PM);
	/* If the queue contains MAX_QUEUE skb's drop some */
	if (skb_queue_len(&data->pending) >= MAX_QUEUE) {
		/* Droping until WARN_QUEUE level */
		while (skb_queue_len(&data->pending) >= WARN_QUEUE)
			skb_dequeue(&data->pending);
	}


Thanks,
Ben
