Subject: [net-2.6 PATCH 2/6] net: remove kfree_skb on a NULL pointer in af_netlink.c
Date: Thu, 17 Sep 2009 17:57:29 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20090918005729.25594.14261.stgit@localhost.localdomain> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20090918005708.25594.52575.stgit@localhost.localdomain>

From: John Fastabend <john.r.fastabend@intel.com>

This removes a kfree_skb that is being called on a NULL pointer when
do_one_broadcast() is sucessful.  And moves the kfree_skb into
do_one_broadcast() for the error case.
