From: Greg KH <[email protected]> 3.4-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------ From: Eric Dumazet <[email protected]> [ Upstream commit 313b037cf054ec908de92fb4c085403ffd7420d4 ] commit db83d136d7f753 (gianfar: Fix missing sock reference when processing TX time stamps) added a potential sk_wmem_alloc imbalance If the new skb has a different truesize than old one, we can get a negative sk_wmem_alloc once new skb is orphaned at TX completion. Now we no longer early orphan skbs in dev_hard_start_xmit(), this probably can lead to fatal bugs.
