From 6ec82562ffc6f297d0de36d65776cff8e5704867 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Eric Dumazet Date: Thu, 6 May 2010 00:53:53 -0700 Subject: veth: Dont kfree_skb() after dev_forward_skb() MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit In case of congestion, netif_rx() frees the skb, so we must assume dev_forward_skb() also consume skb. Bug introduced by commit 445409602c092 (veth: move loopback logic to common location) We must change dev_forward_skb() to always consume skb, and veth to not double free it.
