From c0bbbdc32febd4f034ecbf3ea17865785b2c0652 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Boris Sukholitko Date: Tue, 19 May 2020 10:32:37 +0300 Subject: [PATCH] __netif_receive_skb_core: pass skb by reference __netif_receive_skb_core may change the skb pointer passed into it (e.g. in rx_handler). The original skb may be freed as a result of this operation. The callers of __netif_receive_skb_core may further process original skb by using pt_prev pointer returned by __netif_receive_skb_core thus leading to unpleasant effects. The solution is to pass skb by reference into __netif_receive_skb_core. v2: Added Fixes tag and comment regarding ppt_prev and skb invariant.
