From 6f97532ef05e49f1998a09f8359b83d00a7b3229 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: stephen hemminger Date: Tue, 17 Nov 2015 14:24:27 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] fm10k: fix memory leak This was detected by Coverity. The function skb_cow_head leaves skb alone on failure, so caller needs to free. Signed-off-by: Stephen Hemminger Signed-off-by: David S.
