[PATCH 2/4] firewire: net: fix memory leaks

From: Stefan Richter
Date: Sun Nov 07 2010 - 16:40:24 EST


a) fwnet_transmit_packet_done used to poison ptask->pt_link by list_del.
If fwnet_send_packet checked later whether it was responsible to clean
up (in the border case that the TX soft IRQ was outpaced by the AT-req
tasklet on another CPU), it missed this because ptask->pt_link was no
longer shown as empty.

b) If fwnet_write_complete got an rcode other than RCODE_COMPLETE, we
missed to free the skb and ptask entirely.

Also, count stats.tx_dropped and stats.tx_errors when rcode != 0.
