Subject: [PATCH 1/2 net-next] sunvnet: free pending tx buffers before clearing ring data

From: David L Stevens <[email-masked]>
Date: Mon, 26 Jan 2015 15:54:35 -0500

This patch moves the clearing of ring data in vnet_port_free_tx_bufs to after
 the freeing of pending buffers in the ring. Otherwise, this can result in
 dereferencing a NULL pointer.
