Subject: [PATCH] TIPC: fix tipc_link_create error handling
Date: Wed, 25 Jul 2007 00:02:56 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20070724220256.GC8732@Chamillionaire.breakpoint.cc> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <AF1602CB2550CE4381C0C75118A7856B015BE75E@ala-mail02.corp.ad.wrs.com>

if printbuf allocation or tipc_node_attach_link() fails, invalid
references to the link are left in the associated node and bearer
structures.
Fix by allocating printbuf early and moving timer initialization
and the addition of the new link to the b_ptr->links list after
tipc_node_attach_link() succeeded.

also move k_init_timer(), as suggested by Allan.
