[PATCH net 3/3] virtio-net: fix resources leaking when fail to allocate frag skb

From: Jason Wang
Date: Wed Nov 20 2013 - 04:08:42 EST


When we fail to allocate a frag skb, we need put the refcnt of the page and drop
the rest of the buffers. Otherwise the page was leaked and driver won't get a
correct head buffer after this failure.

This bug was introduced by commit 2613af0ed18a11d5c566a81f9a6510b73180660a
(virtio_net: migrate mergeable rx buffers to page frag allocators).
