[ Upstream commit 45611c61dd503454b2edae00aabe1e429ec49ebe ]
The bug is not easily reproducable, as it may occur very infrequently (we had machines with 20minutes heavy downloading before it occurred) However, on a virual machine (VMWare on Windows 10 host) it occurred pretty frequently (1-2 seconds after a speedtest was started)
dev->tx_skb mab be freed via dev_kfree_skb_irq on a callback before it is set.
This causes the following problems: - double free of the skb or potential memory leak - in dmesg: 'recvmsg bug' and 'recvmsg bug 2' and eventually general protection fault

The proposed patch eliminates a potential racing condition. Before, usb_submit_urb was called and _after_ that, the skb was attached (dev->tx_skb). So, on a callback it was possible, however unlikely that the skb was freed before it was set. That way (because dev->tx_skb was not set to NULL after it was freed), it could happen that a skb from a earlier transmission was freed a second time (and the skb we should have freed did not get freed at all)
Now we free the skb directly in ipheth_tx(). It is not passed to the callback anymore, eliminating the posibility of a double free of the same skb. Depending on the retval of usb_submit_urb() we use dev_kfree_skb_any() respectively dev_consume_skb_any() to free the skb.
