[PATCH AUTOSEL 4.4 22/33] net: hisilicon: remove unexpected free_netdev

From: Sasha Levin <sashal@kernel.org>
Date: 2018-12-05 09:53:52
Also in: lkml, stable
Subsystem: hisilicon network subsystem driver, networking drivers, the rest · Maintainers: Jian Shen, Jijie Shao, Andrew Lunn, "David S. Miller", Eric Dumazet, Jakub Kicinski, Paolo Abeni, Linus Torvalds

From: Pan Bian <redacted>

[ Upstream commit c758940158bf29fe14e9d0f89d5848f227b48134 ]

The net device ndev is freed via free_netdev when failing to register
the device. The control flow then jumps to the error handling code
block. ndev is used and freed again. Resulting in a use-after-free bug.
