From: Dan Carpenter <dan.carpenter@xxxxxxxxxx> This patch has been added to the 3.12 stable tree. If you have any objections, please let us know. =============== commit cb4855b49deb1acce27706ad9509d63c4fe8e988 upstream. We fixed this to use free_netdev() instead of kfree() but unfortunately free_netdev() doesn't accept NULL pointers. Smatch complains about this, it's not something I discovered through testing.
