> Current error handling of virtqueue_kick() was wrong in two places: > - The skb were freed immediately when virtqueue_kick() fail during > xmit. This may lead double free since the skb was not detached from > the virtqueue. > - try_fill_recv() returns false when virtqueue_kick() fail. This will > lead unnecessary rescheduling of refill work. > > Actually, it's safe to just ignore the kick failure in those two > places. So this patch fixes this by partially revert commit > 67975901183799af8e93ec60e322f9e2a1940b9b. > > Fixes 67975901183799af8e93ec60e322f9e2a1940b9b > (virtio_net: verify if virtqueue_kick() succeeded). > > Cc: Heinz Graalfs <graa...@linux.vnet.ibm.com> > Cc: Rusty Russell <ru...@rustcorp.com.au> > Cc: Michael S. Tsirkin <m...@redhat.com> > Signed-off-by: Jason Wang <jasow...@redhat.com> Applied and queued up for -stable, thanks. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
