From 9c64863a49bd23c5a3a983680eb500f7796c81be Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Thomas Gleixner Date: Fri, 11 Apr 2014 08:13:12 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] can: c_can: Do not access skb after net_receive_skb() There is no guarantee that the skb is in the same state after calling net_receive_skb(). It might be freed or reused. Not really harmful as its a read access, except you turn on the proper debugging options which catch a use after free. The whole can subsystem is full of this.
