From 31f634a63de7068c6a5dcb0d7b09b24b61a5cf88 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Krzysztof Halasa Date: Wed, 14 Apr 2010 14:09:52 +0000 Subject: WAN: flush tx_queue in hdlc_ppp to prevent panic on rmmod hw_driver. MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit tx_queue is used as a temporary queue when not allowed to queue skb directly to the hw device driver (which may sleep). Most paths flush it before returning, but ppp_start() currently cannot. Make sure we don't leave skbs pointing to a non-existent device. Thanks to Michael Barkowski for reporting this problem.
