Subject: Netdevice reference leak in af_ax25.c ??
Date: Thu, 01 Sep 2005 11:41:43 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <43174B67.9030109@candelatech.com> (raw)
I believe the SO_BINDTODEVICE case in net/ax25/af_x25.c (line 613 or so)
leaks a reference to a net device. It does a dev_get_by_name,
which holds a reference, but since it never assigns the pointer
anywhere, I do not see how it can ever free it later.
Please clue me in as to where it's released if it actually is.
Thanks,
Ben
