From 43af8532ecd74a61f9e7aeb27c026c1ee27915ca Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Volodymyr G Lukiianyk Date: Tue, 29 Apr 2008 03:17:42 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] bridge: fix error handling in br_add_if() When device is added to bridge its refcnt is incremented (in new_nbp()), but if error occurs during further br_add_if() operations this counter is not decremented back. Fix it by adding dev_put() call in the error path. Signed-off-by: Volodymyr G Lukiianyk Signed-off-by: Stephen Hemminger Signed-off-by: David S.
