From ceaaec98ad99859ac90ac6863ad0a6cd075d8e0e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Eric Dumazet Date: Thu, 17 Feb 2011 22:59:19 +0000 Subject: net: deinit automatic LIST_HEAD commit 9b5e383c11b08784 (net: Introduce unregister_netdevice_many()) left an active LIST_HEAD() in rollback_registered(), with possible memory corruption. Even if device is freed without touching its unreg_list (and therefore touching the previous memory location holding LISTE_HEAD(single), better close the bug for good, since its really subtle. (Same fix for default_device_exit_batch() for completeness) Reported-by: Michal Hocko Tested-by: Michal Hocko Reported-by: Eric W. Biderman Tested-by: Eric W.
