Subject: pppoe.c: Fix kernel panic caused by __pppoe_xmit
X-Git-Tag: v2.6.37-rc6~14^2
X-Git-Url: https://git.karo-electronics.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=2a27a03d3a891e87ca33d27a858b4db734a4cbab;p=karo-tx-linux.git

pppoe.c: Fix kernel panic caused by __pppoe_xmit

__pppoe_xmit function return value was invalid resulting in
additional call to kfree_skb on already freed skb. This resulted in
memory corruption and consequent kernel panic after PPPoE peer
terminated the link.

This fixes commit 55c95e738da85373965cb03b4f975d0fd559865b.
