From 7a542bee27c6a57e45c33cbbdc963325fd6493af Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Xuan Zhuo xuanzhuo@linux.alibaba.com Date: Thu, 4 Aug 2022 14:32:48 +0800 Subject: [PATCH] virtio_net: fix memory leak inside XPD_TX with mergeable
When we call xdp_convert_buff_to_frame() to get xdpf, if it returns NULL, we should check if xdp_page was allocated by xdp_linearize_page(). If it is newly allocated, it should be freed here alone. Just like any other "goto err_xdp".
