From c37aa90b0458d87342e0bb083f6bf7d113220d09 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Pavel Emelyanov Date: Sun, 4 May 2008 17:57:29 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] bridge: Net device leak in br_add_bridge(). In case the register_netdevice() call fails the device is leaked, since the out: label is just rtnl_unlock()+return. Free the device. Signed-off-by: Pavel Emelyanov Signed-off-by: David S.
