From: Marek Lindner <mareklindner@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit 5af96b9c59c72fb2af2d19c5cc2f3cdcee391dff ] The backbone_gw refcounter is to be decreased by the queued work and currently is never decreased if the queue_work() call fails. Fix by checking the queue_work() return value and decrease refcount if necessary.
