Miller" <davem@...emloft.net>, Kamal Mostafa <kamal@...onical.com> Subject: [PATCH 3.13 163/187] net: sun4i-emac: fix memory leak on bad packet 3.13.11.7 -stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Marc Zyngier <marc.zyngier@....com> commit 2670cc699a66c4cf268cb3e3f6dfc325ec14f224 upstream. Upon reception of a new frame, the emac driver checks for a number of error conditions, and flag the packet as "bad" if any of these are present. It then allocates a skb unconditionally, but only uses it if the packet is "good". On the error path, the skb is just forgotten, and the system leaks memory. The piece of junk I have on my desk seems to encounter such error frequently enough so that the box goes OOM after a couple of days, which makes me grumpy. Fix this by moving the allocation on the "good_packet" path (and convert it to netdev_alloc_skb while we're at it). Tested on a random Allwinner A20 board.
