[PATCH 9/9] staging: wlags49_h2: use free_netdev(netdev) instead of kfree()

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Freeing netdev without free_netdev() leads to net, tx leaks.
I might lead to dereferencing freed pointer.

The semantic match that finds this problem is as follows:

struct net_device* dev;
@@

-kfree(dev)
+free_netdev(dev)
