Subject: [PATCH] gre: fix a possible skb leak
Date: Mon, 24 Jun 2013 06:26:00 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1372080360.3301.61.camel@edumazet-glaptop> (raw)
From: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@google.com>
commit 68c331631143 ("v4 GRE: Add TCP segmentation offload for GRE")
added a possible skb leak, because it frees only the head of segment
list, in case a skb_linearize() call fails.
This patch adds a kfree_skb_list() helper to fix the bug.
