Subject: [PATCH net-next 07/11] sfc: Use dev_kfree_skb() in efx_end_loopback()
Date: Thu, 12 Jul 2012 00:17:14 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1342048634.2613.66.camel@bwh-desktop.uk.solarflarecom.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1342048389.2613.59.camel@bwh-desktop.uk.solarflarecom.com>
Fix CID 102619 in the Coverity report on Linux.
efx_end_loopback() iterates over an array of skb pointers of which
some may be null (if efx_begin_loopback() failed). It should not use
dev_kfree_skb_irq(), which requires non-null pointers. In practice
this is safe because it does not run in interrupt context and
therefore always ends up calling dev_kfree_skb(), which does allow
null pointers. But we should make that explicit.
