From d4d40e437adb376be16b3a12dd5c63f0fa768247 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Tung Nguyen Date: Thu, 3 Apr 2025 09:24:31 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] tipc: fix memory leak in tipc_link_xmit [ Upstream commit 69ae94725f4fc9e75219d2d69022029c5b24bc9a ] In case the backlog transmit queue for system-importance messages is overloaded, tipc_link_xmit() returns -ENOBUFS but the skb list is not purged. This leads to memory leak and failure when a skb is allocated. This commit fixes this issue by purging the skb list before tipc_link_xmit() returns.
