Hello!
I am trying to teach smatch's unfree script of skbuffers as those could
create memory leaks if not freed, and I come across this code in
./net/802/llc_sendpdu.c::llc_sendipdu() in 2.4.21 kernel:
tmp=skb_clone(skb, GFP_ATOMIC);
if(tmp!=NULL)
{
tmp->dev = lp->dev;
dev_queue_xmit(skb);
}
(and tmp is not used anywhere else)
Naturally looking at llc_sendipdu() function that have similar construction,
I think that this small change should be done to avoid memleak
and to make the code correct, what do you think?
