Subject: [PATCH net] tg3: avoid double-freeing of rx data memory
Date: Wed,  6 Nov 2013 14:02:36 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1383742956-18731-1-git-send-email-ivecera@redhat.com> (raw)

If build_skb fails the memory associated with the ring buffer is freed but
the ri->data member is not zeroed in this case. This causes a double-free
of this memory in tg3_free_rings->... path. The patch moves this block after
setting ri->data to NULL.
It would be nice to fix this bug also in stable >= v3.4 trees.
