When qeth_qdio_handle_aob() frees dangling allocations in the notified TX buffer, there are rare tear-down cases where qeth_drain_output_queue() would later call qeth_clear_output_buffer() for the same buffer - and thus end up walking the buffer a second time to check for dangling kmem_cache allocations. Luckily current code previously scrubs such a buffer, so qeth_clear_output_buffer() would find buf->buffer->element[i].addr as NULL and not do anything. But this is fragile, and we can easily improve it by consistently clearing the ->is_header flag after freeing the allocation.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
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.
