This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled net: hso: add failure handler for add_net_device to the 5.10-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: net-hso-add-failure-handler-for-add_net_device.patch and it can be found in the queue-5.10 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit f24426f0b8bca109172d174fd78438d14b77f12f Author: Ziyang Xuan <william.xuanziyang@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Thu Sep 2 16:36:09 2021 +0800 net: hso: add failure handler for add_net_device [ Upstream commit ecdc28defc46af476566fffd9e5cb4495a2f176e ] If the network devices connected to the system beyond HSO_MAX_NET_DEVICES. add_net_device() in hso_create_net_device() will be failed for the network_table is full. It will lead to business failure which rely on network_table, for example, hso_suspend() and hso_resume(). It will also lead to memory leak because resource release process can not search the hso_device object from network_table in hso_free_interface(). Add failure handler for add_net_device() in hso_create_net_device() to solve the above problems.
