From e9538cf4f90713eca71b1d6a74b4eae1d445c664 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Larry Finger Date: Tue, 30 Dec 2014 21:33:07 -0600 Subject: [PATCH] rtlwifi: Fix error when accessing unmapped memory in skb These drivers use 9100-byte receive buffers, thus allocating an skb requires an O(3) memory allocation. Under heavy memory loads and fragmentation, such a request can fail. Previous versions of the driver have dropped the packet and reused the old buffer; however, the new version introduced a bug in that it released the old buffer before trying to allocate a new one. The previous method is implemented here. The skb is unmapped before any attempt is made to allocate another.
