Subject: [PATCH net-next, 1/2] hv_netvsc: Fix accessing freed memory in netvsc_change_mtu()
Date: Wed, 23 Mar 2016 09:43:09 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1458751390-26971-1-git-send-email-haiyangz@microsoft.com> (raw)
struct netvsc_device is freed in rndis_filter_device_remove(). So we save
the nvdev->num_chn into a temp variable for later usage.
(Please also include this patch into stable branch.)
