[Marc Kleine-Budde]

Hello David,

here are there fixes for the v3.10 release cycle:

Michael Olbrich reported an Oops (free_netdev() on registered netdev) with the
8devices USB CAN converter on xhci USB host controllers. I've created a patch
to fix the error path of the driver.

regards,
Marc

[PATCH] can: usb_8dev: unregister netdev before free()ing

[Marc Kleine-Budde]

The usb_8dev hardware has problems on some xhci USB hosts. The driver fails to
read the firmware revision in the probe function. This leads to the following
Oops:

    [ 3356.635912] kernel BUG at net/core/dev.c:5701!

The driver tries to free the netdev, which has already been registered, without
unregistering it.

This patch fixes the problem by unregistering the netdev in the error path.

Hello Marc,

the usb_8dev driver was introduced in Linux 3.9 and therefore this reasonable
patch should be queued up for linux-3.9.y stable too.

Oliver

Fwd: Re: [PATCH] can: usb_8dev: unregister netdev before free()ing

[Oliver Hartkopp]

Hello Greg,

can you please integrate this patch into stable 3.9 too?
The usb_8dev driver was introduced in Linux 3.9 and has now been fixed in
DaveMs net-tree for 3.10 some days ago.

Upstream commit 4afe2156eb639e563d6ef0c2706b66ea400348b2

http://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/davem/net.git/commit/?id=4afe2156eb639e563d6ef0c2706b66ea400348b2

I wanted to put stable@kernel.org in CC but that bounced.

Tnx,
Oliver

    Because it's now at stable@vger.kernel.org. You don't need to CC it 
in your mail, just add "Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org" line to the patch 
header after signoff. Though actually, Dave Miller doesn't like this 
protocol and queues the stable patches himself.

WBR, Sergei

Re: Fwd: Re: [PATCH] can: usb_8dev: unregister netdev before free()ing

[Oliver Hartkopp]

Unfortunately the "Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org" was missing in the original patch.

I just wanted to make sure that it doesn't get lost for 3.9 stable.

Tnx & best regards,
Oliver

That commit is not in Linus's tree, so I can't do anything about it at
this point in time.  When it hits Linus's tree, please resend this
message to stable@vger.kernel.org, so we know to pick it up then.

Also, networking stable patches come from David Miller, so he should be
the one sending this to me...

thanks,

greg k-h
