Subject: [PATCH net v2 2/4] net: macb: drop in-flight Tx SKBs on close
Date: Tue, 28 Apr 2026 18:32:58 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260428-macb-drop-tx-v2-2-647f5199d8df@bootlin.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260428-macb-drop-tx-v2-0-647f5199d8df@bootlin.com>

The MACB driver has since forever leaked the outgoing SKBs that
have not yet been marked as completed. They live in queue->tx_skb
which gets freed without remorse nor checking.

macb_free_consistent() gets called in a few codepaths, but only
close will trigger the added expressions. In macb_open() and
macb_alloc_consistent() failure cases, tx_skb just got allocated
and is empty.

Use the new macb_tx_unmap() prototype to report our error as
SKB_DROP_REASON_NOT_SPECIFIED rather than SKB_CONSUMED which makes it
sound like no error occurred. Equivalent to dev_kfree_skb_any().
