Net, mac80211: Fix resource leak in ieee80211_rx_h_mesh_fwding()
We may leak the 'fwd_skb' we skb_copy() in ieee80211_rx_h_mesh_fwding() if we take the 'else' branch in the 'if' statement just below. If we take that branch we'll end up returning from the function and since we've not assigned 'fwd_skb' to anything at that point, we leak it when the variable goes out of scope. The simple fix seems to be to just kfree_skb(fwd_skb); just before we return. That is what this patch does. Signed-off-by: Jesper Juhl <jj@chaosbits.net> Signed-off-by: John W.
