[PATCH v2] mac80211: check skb_shared in ieee80211_8023_xmit()

Ryder Lee ryder.lee at mediatek.com
Thu May 26 06:35:32 PDT 2022


Add a missing skb_shared check into 802.3 path to prevent potential
use-after-free from happening. This also uses skb_share_check()
instead of open-coding in tx path.

change since v2 - switch to use skb_share_check()
