Subject: [PATCH 4/9] s390: use free_netdev(netdev) instead of kfree()
Date: Sun, 26 Sep 2010 13:58:09 +0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1285495090-22002-1-git-send-email-segooon@gmail.com> (raw)

Freeing netdev without free_netdev() leads to net, tx leaks.
I might lead to dereferencing freed pointer.

The semantic match that finds this problem is as follows:
