[PATCH net 1/3] qed: Fix possible memory leak in Rx error path handling.

2018-06-18 Thread Sudarsana Reddy Kalluru
Memory for packet buffers need to be freed in the error paths as there is no consumer (e.g., upper layer) for such packets and that memory will never get freed. The issue was uncovered when port was attacked with flood of isatap packets, these are multicast packets hence were directed at all the PF
