Subject: [PATCH net] ibmvnic: Ensure that buffers are NULL after free
Date: Tue,  6 Feb 2018 17:25:23 -0600	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1517959523-25166-1-git-send-email-tlfalcon@linux.vnet.ibm.com> (raw)

This change will guard against a double free in the case that the
buffers were previously freed at some other time, such as during
a device reset. It resolves a kernel oops that occurred when changing
the VNIC device's MTU.
