Subject: [PATCH v1] staging: rtl8723bs: fix stale recv_frame free in recv_func_posthandle()
Date: Mon, 20 Apr 2026 00:27:34 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260420042734.3685-1-dbgh9129@gmail.com> (raw)

recv_func_posthandle() saved the original recv_frame pointer before
calling recvframe_chk_defrag().

On the last-fragment reassembly path, recvframe_chk_defrag() may return
the first fragment as the new frame while freeing the original
last-fragment frame when draining the defrag queue.

If process_recv_indicatepkts() then fails, recv_func_posthandle() frees
the saved pre-defrag pointer again, which can result in a stale pointer
free.

Free the current recv_frame on the failure path instead of the saved
pre-defrag pointer.

Fixes: 554c0a3abf21 ("staging: Add rtl8723bs sdio wifi driver")
