From: Johannes Berg <[email protected]> The ieee80211_tx_prepare_skb() function currently entirely ignores the fact that the SKB that is passed in might be split into more than one due to fragmentation and doesn't check the list of skbs that the TX handlers may create. In case this happens, it would leak them.
Fix this and also don't leave the skb next/prev pointers dangling pointing to the on-stack sk_buff_head.
