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

 



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

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

From: Ignacy Gawędzki  <ignacy.gawedzki@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit 34eea79e2664b314cab6a30fc582fdfa7a1bb1df ]

In tcf_em_validate(), after calling request_module() to load the
kind-specific module, set em->ops to NULL before returning -EAGAIN, so
that module_put() is not called again by tcf_em_tree_destroy().
