From 1e0b6eac6a150a35b45d019681b0021896354ae5 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Annie Li Date: Wed, 27 Jun 2012 00:46:58 +0000 Subject: xen/netback: only non-freed SKB is queued into tx_queue After SKB is queued into tx_queue, it will be freed if request_gop is NULL. However, no dequeue action is called in this situation, it is likely that tx_queue constains freed SKB. This patch should fix this issue, and it is based on 3.5.0-rc4+. This issue is found through code inspection, no bug is seen with it currently. I run netperf test for several hours, and no network regression was found.
