From 887e671f324d9898aaedb29a6ece6c853c394067 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Eric Dumazet Date: Fri, 6 Nov 2009 00:50:39 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] decnet: netdevice refcount leak While working on device refcount stuff, I found a device refcount leak through DECNET. This nasty bug can be used to hold refcounts on any !DECNET netdevice. Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet Signed-off-by: David S.
