Subject: [PATCH 5.10.y] firewire: net: fix use after free in fwnet_finish_incoming_packet()

From: Vasiliy Kovalev <[email-masked]>
Date: Wed, 22 Oct 2025 22:27:41 +0300

From: Zhang Shurong <[email-masked]>

commit 3ff256751a2853e1ffaa36958ff933ccc98c6cb5 upstream.

The netif_rx() function frees the skb so we can't dereference it to
save the skb->len.
