Subject: [PATCH] gianfar: fix potential sk_wmem_alloc imbalance
Date: Thu, 05 Jul 2012 23:45:13 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1341524713.3265.41.camel@edumazet-glaptop> (raw)

From: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@google.com>

commit db83d136d7f753 (gianfar: Fix missing sock reference when
processing TX time stamps) added a potential sk_wmem_alloc imbalance

If the new skb has a different truesize than old one, we can get a
negative sk_wmem_alloc once new skb is orphaned at TX completion.

Now we no longer early orphan skbs in dev_hard_start_xmit(), this
probably can lead to fatal bugs.

Note : I don't have the hardware and discovered this problem by code
analysis. So please compile and run this patch before Acking it,
thanks !

BTW, dev->needed_headroom should be set to GMAC_FCB_LEN + GMAC_TXPAL_LEN
to avoid reallocations...
