Subject: [Bridge] [PATCH] bridge: fix error handling in br_add_if()
Date: Tue, 18 Mar 2008 21:39:07 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <47E01A5B.1070109@gmail.com> (raw)
[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 283 bytes --]
When device is added to bridge its refcnt is incremented (in new_nbp()), but if
error occurs during further br_add_if() operations this counter is not
decremented back. Fix it by adding dev_put() call in the error path.
