net: usb: rtl8150: free skb on usb_submit_urb() failure in xmit
When rtl8150_start_xmit() fails to submit the tx URB, the URB is never
handed to the USB core and write_bulk_callback() will not run. The
driver returns NETDEV_TX_OK, which tells the networking stack that the
skb has been consumed, but nothing actually frees the skb on this
error path:
dev->tx_skb = skb;
...
if ((res = usb_submit_urb(dev->tx_urb, GFP_ATOMIC))) {
...
/* no kfree_skb here */
}
return NETDEV_TX_OK;
This leaks the skb on every submit failure and also leaves dev->tx_skb
pointing at memory that the driver itself may later free, which is
fragile.
Free the skb with dev_kfree_skb_any() in the error path and clear
dev->tx_skb so no stale pointer is left behind.
