From cd8f76c0a0c6fce0b2cf23c9bd0123f91453f46d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Eric Dumazet Date: Thu, 7 Jun 2012 22:59:59 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] be2net: fix a race in be_xmit() As soon as hardware is notified of a transmit, we no longer can assume skb can be dereferenced, as TX completion might have freed the packet.
