From 28044e0193f2d642a4981dd296b2583b30cf36ef Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Malcolm Priestley Date: Sun, 4 Nov 2012 17:20:06 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] staging: vt6656: free skbuff and relocate on bReAllocSkb == FALSE. bReAllocSkb == FALSE is when data is not fed to user land. Free and relocate skbuff. Where data is not sent return = FALSE from RXbBulkInProcessData. This appears to reduce false errors when a reused skbuff has old data.
