From cc086fcf92996965f0dcf05c6641d65381705266 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Ying Xue Date: Thu, 28 Aug 2014 10:02:41 +0800 Subject: [PATCH] tipc: fix a potential oops Commit 6c9808ce09f7 ("tipc: remove port_lock") accidentally involves a potential bug: when tipc socket instance(tsk) is not got with given reference number in tipc_sk_get(), tsk is set to NULL. Subsequently we jump to exit label where to decrease socket reference counter pointed by tsk pointer in tipc_sk_put(). However, As now tsk is NULL, oops may happen because of touching a NULL pointer.
