From b20e7bbfc7a15a4182730f0936433145992b4b06 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Arnd Bergmann Date: Mon, 21 Mar 2011 18:18:00 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] net/appletalk: fix atalk_release use after free The BKL removal in appletalk introduced a use-after-free problem, where atalk_destroy_socket frees a sock, but we still release the socket lock on it. An easy fix is to take an extra reference on the sock and sock_put it when returning from atalk_release. Signed-off-by: Arnd Bergmann Signed-off-by: David S.
