From 5f478b41033606d325e420df693162e2524c2b94 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Eric Dumazet Date: Tue, 2 Dec 2014 04:30:59 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] net: mvneta: fix race condition in mvneta_tx() 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.
