This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled net: ag71xx: Fix a potential double free in error handling paths to the 5.15-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-ag71xx-fix-a-potential-double-free-in-error-hand.patch and it can be found in the queue-5.15 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit 0378ead13b77522d1402aa2ebfdd3e9574dc2cf1 Author: Christophe JAILLET <christophe.jaillet@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Sun Dec 26 18:51:44 2021 +0100 net: ag71xx: Fix a potential double free in error handling paths [ Upstream commit 1cd5384c88af5b59bf9f3b6c1a151bc14b88c2cd ] 'ndev' is a managed resource allocated with devm_alloc_etherdev(), so there is no need to call free_netdev() explicitly or there will be a double free(). Simplify all error handling paths accordingly. Fixes: d51b6ce441d3 ("net: ethernet: add ag71xx driver") Signed-off-by: Christophe JAILLET <christophe.jaillet@xxxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: David S.
