Subject: [PATCH] rose: device refcount leak
Date: Wed, 04 Nov 2009 21:31:37 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <4AF1E4A9.7050404@gmail.com> (raw)
While hunting dev_put() for net-next-2.6, I found a device refcount
leak in ROSE, ioctl(SIOCADDRT) error path.
Fix is to not touch device refcount, as we hold RTNL
