Subject: skge: fix broken driver
From: Mikulas Patocka <[email protected]>
commit c194992cbe71c20bb3623a566af8d11b0bfaa721 upstream.
The patch 136d8f377e1575463b47840bc5f1b22d94bf8f63 broke the skge driver.
Note this part of the patch:
+ if (skge_rx_setup(skge, e, nskb, skge->rx_buf_size) < 0) {
+ dev_kfree_skb(nskb);
+ goto resubmit;
+ }
+
pci_unmap_single(skge->hw->pdev,
dma_unmap_addr(e, mapaddr),
dma_unmap_len(e, maplen),
PCI_DMA_FROMDEVICE);
skb = e->skb;
prefetch(skb->data);
- skge_rx_setup(skge, e, nskb, skge->rx_buf_size);
The function skge_rx_setup modifies e->skb to point to the new skb. Thus,
after this change, the new buffer, not the old, is returned to the
networking stack.
This bug is present in kernels 3.11, 3.11.1 and 3.12-rc1. The patch should
be queued for 3.11-stable.
