[PATCH net] virtio-net: fix page refcnt leaking when fail to allocate frag skb

From: Jason Wang
Date: Tue Nov 19 2013 - 03:05:52 EST


We need to drop the refcnt of page when we fail to allocate an skb for frag
list, otherwise it will be leaked. The bug was introduced by commit
2613af0ed18a11d5c566a81f9a6510b73180660a ("virtio_net: migrate mergeable rx
buffers to page frag allocators").
