I think we need to use kfree_skb_list(), like the following.

Can someone please audit and review this for me?  We need to
get this to -stable.

Thanks.

I think this is problematic as well.  ipv6_gso_segment could
previously return errors, in which case the caller uses kfree_skb (ex
validate_xmit_skb() -> skb_gso_segment -> ...
callbacks.gso_segment()).  Having the kfree_skb_list here would cause
a double free if I'm reading this correctly.

My first guess was going to be skb_gso_error_unwind(), but I'm still
trying to understand that code...

Sorry again for the fallout from this bug fix.  This is my first time
down this code path and I clearly didn't understand it fully :/

Ok, I take it back.  I believe your kfree_skb_list suggestion is correct.

I was assuming that skb_segment consumed the original skb upon
successful segmentation.  It does not.  This is exactly why
validate_xmit_skb calls consume_skb when segments are returned.
Further, there is at least one existing example of kfree_skb_list in a
similar post-semgent cleanup path (esp6_gso_segment).

Great, thanks for reviewing.  I've pushed this into 'net' and
queued it up for -stable.
