From: "Wang, Xiaoming" <xiaoming.wang@xxxxxxxxx> 3.12-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. =============== commit b04c46190219a4f845e46a459e3102137b7f6cac upstream. Plug a group_info refcount leak in ping_init. group_info is only needed during initialization and the code failed to release the reference on exit. While here move grabbing the reference to a place where it is actually needed.
