Subject: [Patch net] vti: remove duplicated code to fix a memory leak
Date: Sat, 29 Jun 2013 13:00:57 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1372482057-12412-1-git-send-email-amwang@redhat.com> (raw)

From: Cong Wang <amwang@redhat.com>

vti module allocates dev->tstats twice: in vti_fb_tunnel_init()
and in vti_tunnel_init(), this lead to a memory leak of 
dev->tstats.

Just remove the duplicated operations in vti_fb_tunnel_init().

(candidate for -stable)
