Subject: [PATCH net] ematch: Fix auto-loading of ematch modules.
Date: Mon, 16 Feb 2015 19:13:15 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20150216181315.GA15280@zenon.in.qult.net> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20150216150329.GB16798@zenon.in.qult.net>

In tcf_em_validate(), when calling tcf_em_lookup(), don't put the resulting
pointer directly into em->ops, if the function is to possibly return -EAGAIN
after module auto-loading.  Otherwise, module_put() will be called by
tcf_em_tree_destroy() on em->ops->owner, while it has already been called by
tcf_em_validate() before return.
