From 52933f052186877afd218aef7a1b2dbdb010939f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Kulikov Vasiliy Date: Sat, 25 Sep 2010 23:58:00 +0000 Subject: ibm_newemac: use free_netdev(netdev) instead of kfree() Freeing netdev without free_netdev() leads to net, tx leaks. I might lead to dereferencing freed pointer. The semantic match that finds this problem is as follows: (http://coccinelle.lip6.fr/) @@ struct net_device* dev; @@ -kfree(dev) +free_netdev(dev) Signed-off-by: David S.
