virtio: fix virtio_net xmit of freed skb bug
If we fail to transmit a packet, we assume the queue is full and put the skb into last_xmit_skb. However, if more space frees up before we xmit it, we loop, and the result can be transmitting the same skb twice. Fix is simple: set skb to NULL if we've used it in some way, and check before sending. Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au> Signed-off-by: Jeff Garzik <jgarzik@redhat.com>
