This is a note to let you know that I have just added a patch titled xfrm6: release dev before returning error to the linux-3.8.y-queue branch of the 3.8.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-3.8.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 3.8.y.z tree, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/Dev/ExtendedStable Thanks. -Kamal ------ From e9e1fb7e1737f31873ccad360b7be6d4f013e653 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Cong Wang <amwang@redhat.com> Date: Thu, 9 May 2013 22:40:00 +0000 Subject: xfrm6: release dev before returning error [ Upstream commit 84c4a9dfbf430861e7588d95ae3ff61535dca351 ] We forget to call dev_put() on error path in xfrm6_fill_dst(), its caller doesn't handle this.
