Message-ID: <1342048634.2613.66.camel@bwh-desktop.uk.solarflarecom.com> Date: Thu, 12 Jul 2012 00:17:14 +0100 From: Ben Hutchings <bhutchings@...arflare.com> To: David Miller <davem@...emloft.net> CC: <netdev@...r.kernel.org>, <linux-net-drivers@...arflare.com> Subject: [PATCH net-next 07/11] sfc: Use dev_kfree_skb() in efx_end_loopback() Fix CID 102619 in the Coverity report on Linux. efx_end_loopback() iterates over an array of skb pointers of which some may be null (if efx_begin_loopback() failed). It should not use dev_kfree_skb_irq(), which requires non-null pointers. In practice this is safe because it does not run in interrupt context and therefore always ends up calling dev_kfree_skb(), which does allow null pointers. But we should make that explicit.
