From 36485707bbd9729e0c52315b173aeed9bc2303dd Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jiri Benc Date: Mon, 5 Jun 2006 16:39:34 -0700 Subject: [BRIDGE]: fix locking and memory leak in br_add_bridge There are several bugs in error handling in br_add_bridge: - when dev_alloc_name fails, allocated net_device is not freed - unregister_netdev is called when rtnl lock is held - free_netdev is called before netdev_run_todo has a chance to be run after unregistering net_device Signed-off-by: Jiri Benc Signed-off-by: Stephen Hemminger Signed-off-by: David S.
