3.13-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Stefan Richter <stefanr@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> commit 8987583366ae9e03c306c2b7d73bdb952df1d08d upstream. Commit 8408dc1c14c1 "firewire: net: use dev_printk API" introduced a use-after-free in a failure path. fwnet_transmit_packet_failed(ptask) may free ptask, then the dev_err() call dereferenced it. The fix is straightforward; simply reorder the two calls.
