irlan_client_discovery_indication calls rcu_read_lock and rcu_read_unlock, but
returns without unlocking in an error case.  Fix that by replacing the return
with a goto so that the rcu_read_unlock always gets executed.

Good catch!!!  Looks good from an RCU viewpoint, in fact, looks absolutely
necessary to permit IRDA to work in debug mode, particularly in either
a CONFIG_PREEMPT or a -rt kernel.

One question below, but up to the maintainer.  ;-)

							Thanx, Paul

Should the above label instead be as follows?

	IRDA_ASSERT_LABEL(out:)

Just in case some variant of gcc, sparse, or whatever complains about
labels that don't have a corresponding goto (in CONFIG_IRDA_DEBUG=n
builds).

Indeed, nice catch.

Yes, definitely, IRDA_ASSERT_LABEL(out:) makes sense.
I will forward the patch to davem's netdev tree, thanks.

Cheers,
Samuel.

Hi Dave,

irlan_client_discovery_indication calls rcu_read_lock and rcu_read_unlock, but
returns without unlocking in an error case.  Fix that by replacing the return
with a goto so that the rcu_read_unlock always gets executed.
