[PATCH net 3/4] xen-netback: Fix releasing header slot on error path

From: Zoltan Kiss
Date: Thu Jul 17 2014 - 15:11:50 EST


This patch makes this function aware that the first frag and the header might
share the same ring slot. That could happen if the first slot is bigger than
MAX_SKB_LEN. Due to this the error path might release that slot twice or never,
depending on the error scenario.
xenvif_idx_release is also removed from xenvif_idx_unmap, and called separately.
