From 869e58f87094b1e8a0df49232e4a5172678d46c9 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Denis V. Lunev" Date: Fri, 18 Jan 2008 23:53:31 -0800 Subject: [NETNS]: Double free in netlink_release. Netlink protocol table is global for all namespaces. Some netlink protocols have been virtualized, i.e. they have per/namespace netlink socket. This difference can easily lead to double free if more than 1 namespace is started. Count the number of kernel netlink sockets to track that this table is not used any more. Signed-off-by: Denis V.
