[PATCH] net: usb: asix: Fix crash on skb alloc failure

Show all headers | View raw

If asix_rx_fixup_internal() fails to allocate rx->ax_skb, it will return
but not clear rx->size. rx points to driver private data. A later call
assumes that nonzero size means ax_skb was allocated and passes a null
ax_skb to skb_put. Changed allocation failure return to clear size first.

Found testing board with AX88772B devices.
