Subject: [PATCH] net: moxa: fix TX overrun memory leak
Date: Fri,  5 Jun 2015 15:46:18 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1433511978-17666-1-git-send-email-jonas.jensen@gmail.com> (raw)

moxart_mac_start_xmit() doesn't care where tx_tail is, tx_head can
catch and pass tx_tail, which is bad because moxart_tx_finished()
isn't guaranteed to catch up on freeing resources from tx_tail.

Add a check in moxart_mac_start_xmit(), exit to make sure tx_head
never passes tx_tail.

Move tx_head and place tx_tail within spinlock, avoiding read-write
race that could happen when interrupts hit at the wrong moment.
