From: Eric Dumazet Date: Sat, 22 Oct 2011 07:29:53 +0000 (-0400) Subject: tg3: fix tigon3_dma_hwbug_workaround() X-Git-Url: https://git.karo-electronics.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=f7ff19871bb4a3451e1ca2cf660bf633018cfbec;p=linux-beck.git tg3: fix tigon3_dma_hwbug_workaround() Ari got kernel panics using tg3 NIC, and bisected to 2669069aacc9 "tg3: enable transmit time stamping." This is because tigon3_dma_hwbug_workaround() might alloc a new skb and free the original. We panic when skb_tx_timestamp() is called on freed skb.
