+Subject: [PATCH] mac80211: free skb fraglist before freeing the skb
+
+mac80211 uses the frag list to build AMSDU. When freeing
+the skb, it may not be really freed, since someone is still
+holding a reference to it.
+In that case, when TCP skb is being retransmitted, the
+pointer to the frag list is being reused, while the data
+in there is no longer valid.
+Since we will never get frag list from the network stack,
+as mac80211 doesn't advertise the capability, we can safely
+free and nullify it before releasing the SKB.
