From 4542d66bb26f2d021c70a78e46f183c6675fc4c9 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Feras Daoud Date: Wed, 14 Jun 2017 09:59:09 +0300 Subject: [PATCH] IB/ipoib: Fix memory leak in create child syscall The flow of creating a new child goes through ipoib_vlan_add which allocates a new interface and checks the rtnl_lock. If the lock is taken, restart_syscall will be called to restart the system call again. In this case we are not releasing the already allocated interface, causing a leak.
