From 6b863d1d3239eff0f45c2e6e672f5b56db828db0 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Eric Dumazet Date: Tue, 17 Nov 2009 06:45:04 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] vlan: Fix register_vlan_dev() error path In case register_netdevice() returns an error, and a new vlan_group was allocated and inserted in vlan_group_hash[] we call vlan_group_free() without deleting group from hash table. Future lookups can give infinite loops or crashes. We must delete the vlan_group using RCU safe procedure. Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet Signed-off-by: David S.
