Subject: [PATCH 3.12 34/77] virtio_net: dont leak memory or block when too many frags

3.12-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: "Michael S. Tsirkin" <mst@...hat.com>

We leak an skb when there are too many frags,
we also stop processing the packet in the middle,
the result is almost sure to be loss of networking.
