Subject: [PATCH] caif: fix two caif_connect() bugs
Date: Tue, 05 Oct 2010 10:42:08 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1286268128.2796.27.camel@edumazet-laptop> (raw)
caif_connect() might dereference a netdevice after dev_put() it.
It also doesnt check dev_get_by_index() return value and could
dereference a NULL pointer.
Fix it, using RCU to avoid taking a reference.
