This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled net: mhi: Fix memory leak in mhi_net_dellink() to the 6.0-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-mhi-fix-memory-leak-in-mhi_net_dellink.patch and it can be found in the queue-6.0 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit 260c2ea112fb73d985ac235e8f6676e1944ef72e Author: Wei Yongjun <weiyongjun1@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Fri Nov 11 09:20:44 2022 +0000 net: mhi: Fix memory leak in mhi_net_dellink() [ Upstream commit f7c125bd79f50ec6094761090be81d02726ec6f4 ] MHI driver registers network device without setting the needs_free_netdev flag, and does NOT call free_netdev() when unregisters network device, which causes a memory leak. This patch calls free_netdev() to fix it since netdev_priv is used after unregister.
