[PATCH 3.16 09/61] net-sysfs: Call dev_hold always in netdev_queue_add_kobject

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



3.16.85-rc1 review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Jouni Hogander <jouni.hogander@xxxxxxxxxx>

commit e0b60903b434a7ee21ba8d8659f207ed84101e89 upstream.

Dev_hold has to be called always in netdev_queue_add_kobject.
Otherwise usage count drops below 0 in case of failure in
kobject_init_and_add.

Fixes: b8eb718348b8 ("net-sysfs: Fix reference count leak in rx|netdev_queue_add_kobject")
