[ 169/218] macvtap: zerocopy: put page when fail to get all requested user pages

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Fri Sep 28 2012 - 16:35:53 EST


3.4-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Jason Wang <jasowang@xxxxxxxxxx>

commit 02ce04bb3d28c3333231f43bca677228dbc686fe upstream.

When get_user_pages_fast() fails to get all requested pages, we could not use
kfree_skb() to free it as it has not been put in the skb fragments. So we need
to call put_page() instead.
