[PATCH 3.13.y-ckt 94/96] net: mvneta: fix race condition in mvneta_tx()

From: Kamal Mostafa
Date: Mon Dec 15 2014 - 14:40:23 EST


3.13.11-ckt13 -stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

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

From: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@xxxxxxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit 5f478b41033606d325e420df693162e2524c2b94 ]

mvneta_tx() dereferences skb to get skb->len too late,
as hardware might have completed the transmit and TX completion
could have freed the skb from another cpu.

Fixes: 71f6d1b31fb1 ("net: mvneta: replace Tx timer with a real interrupt")
