From: Greg KH
Date: Fri Jul 08 2011 - 01:15:56 EST


2.6.39-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

------------------

From: Richard Cochran <richardcochran@xxxxxxxxx>

commit 384420409d9b5d4443940abace49363d26135412 upstream.

Because the socket buffer is freed in the completion interrupt, it is not
safe to access it after submitting it to the hardware.
