Currently, hns3_nic_maybe_stop_tx() uses skb_copy() to linearize a SKB if the BD num required by the SKB does not meet the hardware limitation, and it linearizes the SKB by allocating a new linearized SKB and freeing the old SKB, if hns3_nic_maybe_stop_tx() returns -EBUSY because there are no enough space in the ring to send the linearized skb to hardware, the sch_direct_xmit() still hold reference to old SKB and try to retransmit the old SKB when dev_hard_start_xmit() return TX_BUSY, which may cause use after freed problem. This patch fixes it by using __skb_linearize() to linearize the SKB in hns3_nic_maybe_stop_tx().

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.
