When RX timestamping is enabled and two link-local (non-meta) frames are received in a row, this constitutes an error. The tagger is always caching the last link-local frame, in an attempt to merge it with the meta follow-up frame when that arrives. To recover from the above error condition, the initial cached link-local frame is dropped and the second frame in a row is cached (in expectance of the second meta frame). However, when dropping the initial link-local frame, its backing memory was being leaked.

Linux kernel ============ There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/ There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. 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.
