[ Upstream commit cad46039e4c99812db067c8ac22a864960e7acc4 ] ql_alloc_large_buffers() has the usual RX buffer allocation loop where it allocates skbs and maps them for DMA. It also treats failure as a fatal error. There are (at least) three bugs in the error paths: 1. ql_free_large_buffers() assumes that the lrg_buf[] entry for the first buffer that couldn't be allocated will have .skb == NULL. But the qla_buf[] array is not zero-initialised. 2. ql_free_large_buffers() DMA-unmaps all skbs in lrg_buf[]. This is incorrect for the last allocated skb, if DMA mapping failed. 3. Commit 1acb8f2a7a9f ("net: qlogic: Fix memory leak in ql_alloc_large_buffers") added a direct call to dev_kfree_skb_any() after the skb is recorded in lrg_buf[], so ql_free_large_buffers() will double-free it. The bugs are somewhat inter-twined, so fix them all at once: * Clear each entry in qla_buf[] before attempting to allocate an skb for it. This goes half-way to fixing bug 1. * Set the .skb field only after the skb is DMA-mapped. This fixes the rest. Fixes: 1357bfcf7106 ("qla3xxx: Dynamically size the rx buffer queue ...")

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.
