Subject: [PATCH net] netlink: avoid a double skb free in genlmsg_mcast()
Date: Wed, 14 Mar 2018 21:10:23 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20180314201023.12407-1-nicolas.dichtel@6wind.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1520899459.23626.87.camel@codethink.co.uk>

nlmsg_multicast() consumes always the skb, thus the original skb must be
freed only when this function is called with a clone.

Fixes: cb9f7a9a5c96 ("netlink: ensure to loop over all netns in genlmsg_multicast_allns()")
Reported-by: Ben Hutchings <ben.hutchings@codethink.co.uk>
