Subject: [PATCH 3.19.y-ckt 018/210] rtlwifi: fix memory leak for USB device
3.19.8-ckt14 -stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
---8<------------------------------------------------------------
From: Peter Wu <peter@...ensteyn.nl>
commit 17bc55864f81dd730d05f09b1641312a7990d636 upstream.
Free skb for received frames with a wrong checksum. This can happen
pretty rapidly, exhausting all memory.
This fixes a memleak (detected with kmemleak). Originally found while
using monitor mode, but it also appears during managed mode (once the
link is up).
