[PATCH net] rocker: move dereference before free

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

 



My static checker complains that ofdpa_neigh_del() can sometimes free
"found".   It just makes sense to use it first before deleting it.

Fixes: ecf244f753e0 ("rocker: fix maybe-uninitialized warning")

Most ref counting function use atomic_dec() but ofdpa_neigh_del() just
uses normal decrement.  Are you sure this isn't racy?

This applies to net.  In net-next the code has shifted around and it
doesn't apply anymore.  Should I send a different patch for net-next?
