[Xen-devel] [PATCH net 2/4 v2] xen-netback: Fix releasing frag_list skbs in error path

[Zoltan Kiss <zoltan.kiss@xxxxxxxxxx>]

When the grant operations failed, the skb is freed up eventually, and it tries
to release the frags, if there is any. For the main skb nr_frags is set to 0 to
avoid this, but on the frag_list it iterates through the frags array, and tries
to call put_page on the page pointer which contains garbage at that time.
