Subject: [PATCH] ipv6: add a missing unregister_pernet_subsys call
Date: Fri, 24 Sep 2010 15:55:52 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20100924195552.GA8477@hmsreliant.think-freely.org> (raw)

Clean up a missing exit path in the ipv6 module init routines.  In
addrconf_init we call ipv6_addr_label_init which calls register_pernet_subsys
for the ipv6_addr_label_ops structure.  But if module loading fails, or if the
ipv6 module is removed, there is no corresponding unregister_pernet_subsys call,
which leaves a now-bogus address on the pernet_list, leading to oopses in
subsequent registrations.  This patch cleans up both the failed load path and
the unload path.  Tested by myself with good results.
