Subject: [PATCH net] net: dsa: Do not destroy invalid network devices
Date: Tue,  7 Feb 2017 23:10:13 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20170208071013.19216-1-f.fainelli@gmail.com> (raw)

dsa_slave_create() can fail, and dsa_user_port_unapply() will properly check
for the network device not being NULL before attempting to destroy it. We were
not setting the slave network device as NULL if dsa_slave_create() failed, so
we would later on be calling dsa_slave_destroy() on a now free'd and
unitialized network device, causing crashes in dsa_slave_destroy().

Fixes: 83c0afaec7b7 ("net: dsa: Add new binding implementation")
