Subject: Re: [PATCH net v2 1/3] net: nixge: fix potential memory leak in
 nixge_start_xmit()

Zhang Changzhong <zhangchangzhong@...wei.com> :
> The nixge_start_xmit() returns NETDEV_TX_OK but does not free skb in
> case of dma_map_single() fails, which leads to memory leak.
> 
> Fix it by adding dev_kfree_skb_any() when dma_map_single() fails.

> Fixes: 492caffa8a1a ("net: ethernet: nixge: Add support for National Instruments XGE netdev")
