Hi all,

We found the problem of the memory leak when working with copy-
receiver of netfront.

The source of a problem is that the fragment page is not released with dev_kfree_skb() because the nr_frags variable of skb is set to 0.
This is the patch to fix memory leak in netfront.

This code doesn't apply to the current 2.6.25 version of netfront. The only similar code I could see is:

               skb = np->rx_skbs[id];
               mfn = gnttab_end_foreign_transfer_ref(ref);
               gnttab_release_grant_reference(&np->gref_rx_head, ref);
               np->grant_rx_ref[id] = GRANT_INVALID_REF;

               if (0 == mfn) {
                       skb_shinfo(skb)->nr_frags = 0;
                       dev_kfree_skb(skb);
                       noxfer++;
                       continue;
               }


Would you mind reviewing the 2.6.25 version of netfront to see if it needs a patch?

Thanks,
   J
