If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Amerigo Wang commit 72d3eb13b5c0abe7d63efac41f39c5b644c7bbaa upstream. This netconsole_target_put() is obviously redundant, and it causes a kernel segfault when removing a bridge device which has netconsole running on it. This is caused by: commit 8d8fc29d02a33e4bd5f4fa47823c1fd386346093 Author: Amerigo Wang Date: Thu May 19 21:39:10 2011 +0000 netpoll: disable netpoll when enslave a device Signed-off-by: Cong Wang Signed-off-by: David S.
