After transmitting a skb via send_packet[_fast](), the statistics code accesses the skb once more to account for transmitted page frags. This has a (theoretical?) race against the TX completion - if the TX completion is processed and frees the skb before hard_start_xmit() gets to the statistics part, we access random memory. Fix this by caching the # of page frags, before the skb is transmitted.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
