Flooding the Kvaser CAN to USB dongle with multiple reads and writes in high frequency caused seemingly-random panics in the kernel. On further inspection, it seems the driver erroneously freed the to-be-transmitted packet upon getting tight on URBs and returning NETDEV_TX_BUSY, leading to invalid memory writes and double frees at a later point in time. Note: Finding no more URBs/transmit-contexts and returning NETDEV_TX_BUSY is a driver bug in and out of itself: it means that our start/stop queue flow control is broken. This patch only fixes the (buggy) error handling code; the root cause shall be fixed in a later commit. Acked-by: Olivier Sobrie <olivier@sobrie.be> Signed-off-by: Ahmed S.
