[PATCH net] ibmvnic: Ensure that buffers are NULL after free
From: Thomas Falcon <hidden>

Subsystem:
ibm power sriov virtual nic device driver, linux for powerpc (32-bit and 64-bit), networking drivers, the rest · Maintainers:

This change will guard against a double free in the case that the buffers were previously freed at some other time, such as during a device reset. It resolves a kernel oops that occurred when changing the VNIC device's MTU. Signed-off-by: Thomas Falcon <redacted> --- drivers/net/ethernet/ibm/ibmvnic.c | 5 +++++ 1 file changed, 5 insertions(+)
