From 33f04a1a2c102c19673b95709c0246509fd24f25 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Herbert Xu Date: Mon, 16 May 2016 17:28:16 +0800 Subject: netlink: Fix dump skb leak/double free [ Upstream commit 92964c79b357efd980812c4de5c1fd2ec8bb5520 ] When we free cb->skb after a dump, we do it after releasing the lock. This means that a new dump could have started in the time being and we'll end up freeing their skb instead of ours. This patch saves the skb and module before we unlock so we free the right memory.
