[PATCH][AX25]: Potential ax25_uid_assoc-s leaks on module unload.

From: Pavel Emelyanov <hidden>
Date: 2008-04-12 12:06:47
Also in: linux-hams
Subsystem: networking [general], the rest · Maintainers: "David S. Miller", Eric Dumazet, Jakub Kicinski, Paolo Abeni, Linus Torvalds

The ax25_uid_free call walks the ax25_uid_list and releases
entries from it. The problem is that after the fisrt call to
hlist_del_init the hlist_for_each_entry (which hides behind
the ax25_uid_for_each) will consider the current position to
be the last and will return.

Thus, the whole list will be left not freed.
