With commit e49656147359 {"rtlwifi: Use dev_kfree_skb_irq instead of kfree_skb"), the method used to free an skb was changed because the kfree_skb() was inside a spinlock. What was forgotten is that kfree_skb() guards against a NULL value for the argument. Routine dev_kfree_skb_irq() does not, and a test is needed to prevent kernel panics.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
