The patch titled irda: Fix RCU lock pairing on error path has been added to the -mm tree. Its filename is irda-fix-rcu-lock-pairing-on-error-path.patch See http://www.zip.com.au/~akpm/linux/patches/stuff/added-to-mm.txt to find out what to do about this ------------------------------------------------------ Subject: irda: Fix RCU lock pairing on error path From: Josh Triplett <josht@xxxxxxxxxxxx> irlan_client_discovery_indication calls rcu_read_lock and rcu_read_unlock, but returns without unlocking in an error case. Fix that by replacing the return with a goto so that the rcu_read_unlock always gets executed.
