3.11-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Salam Noureddine <noureddine@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit e2401654dd0f5f3fb7a8d80dad9554d73d7ca394 ] It is possible for the timer handlers to run after the call to ip_mc_down so use in_dev_put instead of __in_dev_put in the handler function in order to do proper cleanup when the refcnt reaches 0. Otherwise, the refcnt can reach zero without the in_device being destroyed and we end up leaking a reference to the net_device and see messages like the following, unregister_netdevice: waiting for eth0 to become free. Usage count = 1 Tested on linux-3.4.43. Signed-off-by: Salam Noureddine <noureddine@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: David S.
