[ 48/76] mac80211: use ieee80211_free_txskb to fix possible skb leaks

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Thu Oct 18 2012 - 22:49:06 EST


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

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

From: Felix Fietkau <nbd@xxxxxxxxxxx>

commit c3e7724b6bc2f25e46c38dbe68f09d71fafeafb8 upstream.

A few places free skbs using dev_kfree_skb even though they're called
after ieee80211_subif_start_xmit might have cloned it for tracking tx
status. Use ieee80211_free_txskb here to prevent skb leaks.
