From 85e945253955f399c2aacd220423a5e298e963b8 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Eric W. Biederman" Date: Sat, 15 Mar 2014 18:43:33 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] virtio_net: Call dev_kfree_skb_any instead of dev_kfree_skb. Replace dev_kfree_skb with dev_kfree_skb_any in start_xmit which can be called in hard irq and other contexts. start_xmit only frees skbs that it is dropping. Signed-off-by: "Eric W.
