From: Annie Li <redacted> After SKB is queued into tx_queue, it will be freed if request_gop is NULL. However, no dequeue action is called in this situation, it is likely that tx_queue constains freed SKB. This patch should fix this issue, and it is based on 3.5.0-rc4+. This issue is found through code inspection, no bug is seen with it currently. I run netperf test for several hours, and no network regression was found. Signed-off-by: Annie Li <redacted>I lack the expertiece necessary to properly review this, so I really need a Xen expert to look this over.Sorry, I put it to one side waiting for the repost to netdev and then forgot about it... Yes, this change looks good to me: Acked-by: Ian Campbell <redacted>
Thanks, applied to net-next.
