From 7c249f3306b6f42f7a0a9d9cbd0455035f8a067c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Arkadi Sharshevsky Date: Thu, 12 Jan 2017 09:10:37 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] mlxsw: spectrum: Fix memory leak at skb reallocation [ Upstream commit 36bf38d158d3482119b3e159c0619b3c1539b508 ] During transmission the skb is checked for headroom in order to add vendor specific header. In case the skb needs to be re-allocated, skb_realloc_headroom() is called to make a private copy of the original, but doesn't release it. Current code assumes that the original skb is released during reallocation and only releases it at the error path which causes a memory leak. Fix this by adding the original skb release to the main path.
