From 674f2115995b7b588cbf3540c9f9b2448a8c7ea8 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Eric Dumazet Date: Mon, 21 Mar 2011 18:16:39 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] ipx: fix ipx_release() Commit b0d0d915d1d1a0 (remove the BKL) added a regression, because sock_put() can free memory while we are going to use it later. Fix is to delay sock_put() _after_ release_sock(). Reported-by: Ingo Molnar Tested-by: Ingo Molnar Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet Acked-by: Arnd Bergmann Signed-off-by: David S.
