Subject: RE: [PATCH net v2 2/2] net: dsa: skb_put_padto() already frees nskb

> The first call of skb_put_padto() will free up the SKB on error, but we
> return NULL which tells dsa_slave_xmit() that the original SKB should be
> freed so this would lead to a double free here.
> 
> The second skb_put_padto() already frees the passed sk_buff reference
> upon error, so calling kfree_skb() on it again is not necessary.
> 
> Detected by CoverityScan, CID#1416687 ("USE_AFTER_FREE")
> 
> Fixes: e71cb9e00922 ("net: dsa: ksz: fix skb freeing")
