[PATCH 4.14 05/71] mac80211: Free mpath object when rhashtable insertion fails

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Mon Feb 25 2019 - 16:17:46 EST


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

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

From: Herbert Xu <herbert@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

commit 4ff3a9d14c6c06eaa4e5976c61599ea2bd9e81b2 upstream.

When rhashtable insertion fails the mesh table code doesn't free
the now-orphan mesh path object. This patch fixes that.
