Subject: [PATCH 9/12]: spidernet: fix racy double-free of skb
Date: Tue, 20 Feb 2007 16:41:03 -0600 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20070220224103.GI28895@austin.ibm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20070220221314.GU923@austin.ibm.com>
It appears that under certain circumstances, a race will result
in a double-free of an skb. This patch null's out the skb pointer
upon the skb free, avoiding the inadvertent deref of bogus data.
The next patch fixes the actual race.
