Subject: [PATCH] be2net: fix a race in be_xmit()
Date: Fri, 08 Jun 2012 10:59:59 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1339145999.6001.62.camel@edumazet-glaptop> (raw)
From: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@google.com>
As soon as hardware is notified of a transmit, we no longer can assume
skb can be dereferenced, as TX completion might have freed the packet.
