From d02fd6e7d2933ede6478a15f9e4ce8a93845824e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Gao Feng Date: Tue, 26 Dec 2017 21:44:32 +0800 Subject: macvlan: Fix one possible double free Because the macvlan_uninit would free the macvlan port, so there is one double free case in macvlan_common_newlink. When the macvlan port is just created, then register_netdevice or netdev_upper_dev_link failed and they would invoke macvlan_uninit. Then it would reach the macvlan_port_destroy which triggers the double free. Signed-off-by: Gao Feng Signed-off-by: David S.
