This is a note to let you know that I have just added a patch titled atm: idt77252: fix dev refcnt leak to the linux-3.5.y-queue branch of the 3.5.y.z extended stable tree which can be found at: http://kernel.ubuntu.com/git?p=ubuntu/linux.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/linux-3.5.y-queue If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to this tree, please reply to this email. For more information about the 3.5.y.z tree, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/Dev/ExtendedStable Thanks. -Luis ------ From dc8f05d9000f2b5362d8fbe4b80e91ff15d64d0e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Ying Xue <ying.xue@windriver.com> Date: Tue, 19 Nov 2013 18:09:27 +0800 Subject: atm: idt77252: fix dev refcnt leak commit b5de4a22f157ca345cdb3575207bf46402414bc1 upstream. init_card() calls dev_get_by_name() to get a network deceive. But it doesn't decrease network device reference count after the device is used. Signed-off-by: Ying Xue <ying.xue@windriver.com> Signed-off-by: David S.
