From: Xiyu Yang <xiyuyang19@xxxxxxxxxxxx> commit 4becb7ee5b3d2829ed7b9261a245a77d5b7de902 upstream. x25_connect() invokes x25_get_neigh(), which returns a reference of the specified x25_neigh object to "x25->neighbour" with increased refcnt. When x25 connect success and returns, the reference still be hold by "x25->neighbour", so the refcount should be decreased in x25_disconnect() to keep refcount balanced. The reference counting issue happens in x25_disconnect(), which forgets to decrease the refcnt increased by x25_get_neigh() in x25_connect(), causing a refcnt leak. Fix this issue by calling x25_neigh_put() before x25_disconnect() returns. Signed-off-by: Xiyu Yang <xiyuyang19@xxxxxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Xin Tan <tanxin.ctf@xxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: David S.
