[ 084/167] [PATCH 23/26] netns: do not leak net_generic data on failed init

From: Ben Hutchings
Date: Wed May 09 2012 - 02:15:43 EST


3.2-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Julian Anastasov <ja@xxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit b922934d017f1cc831b017913ed7d1a56c558b43 ]

ops_init should free the net_generic data on
init failure and __register_pernet_operations should not
call ops_free when NET_NS is not enabled.
