[RESEND PATCH 3/3] X25: Fix oops and refcnt problems from x25_dev_get

From: andrew hendry <hidden>
Date: 2009-12-14 22:03:43
Also in: lkml

Calls to x25_dev_get check for dev = NULL which was not set.
It allowed x25 to set routes and ioctls on down interfaces.
This caused oopses and refcnt problems on device_unregister.
