Subject: [PATCH] net: fix memory leak on oom with zerocopy

From: "Michael S. Tsirkin" <[email-masked]>
Date: Sun, 16 Sep 2012 11:44:16 +0300

If orphan flags fails, we don't free the skb
on receive, which leaks the skb memory.

Return value was also wrong: netif_receive_skb
is supposed to return NET_RX_DROP, not ENOMEM.

Fixes a memory leak so 3.6 material?
