From 20eca054e9d90db3d6181e35d7425dfb79d5cd00 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Eric W. Biederman" Date: Sat, 15 Mar 2014 18:20:12 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] spider_net: Call dev_consume_skb_any instead of dev_kfree_skb. Replace dev_kfree_skb with dev_consume_skb_any in spider_net_release_tx_chain which can be called in hard irq and other contexts. dev_consume_skb_any was choosen as it preserves the current dev_kfree_skb semantics (dev_kfree_skb is consume_skb) and is because it is correct most of the time as most packets will have been successfully transmitted not dropeed.
