From aca5f58f9ba803ec8c2e6bcf890db17589e8dfcc Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "David S. Miller" Date: Thu, 2 Jan 2014 19:50:52 -0500 Subject: [PATCH] netpoll: Fix missing TXQ unlock and and OOPS. The VLAN tag handling code in netpoll_send_skb_on_dev() has two problems. 1) It exits without unlocking the TXQ. 2) It then tries to queue a NULL skb to npinfo->txq.
