Subject: [PATCH 6.12.y] net: macb: drop in-flight Tx SKBs on close
Date: Tue, 28 Jul 2026 22:30:02 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260729023002.1113287-1-sashal@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <2026072140-catacomb-activator-d955@gregkh>
From: Théo Lebrun <theo.lebrun@bootlin.com>
[ Upstream commit 27f575836cfebbf872dec020428742b10650a955 ]
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, queues' tx_skb just got allocated and are empty.
Fixes: 89e5785fc8a6 ("[PATCH] Atmel MACB ethernet driver")

[ adjusted context to free each queue's Tx/Rx rings individually since 6.12 lacks the single-dma_alloc_coherent refactor ]
