[PATCH 3.12 082/175] ematch: Fix auto-loading of ematch modules.

From: Jiri Slaby
Date: Tue Mar 17 2015 - 05:12:59 EST


From: Ignacy GawÄdzki <ignacy.gawedzki@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

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

===============

[ Upstream commit 34eea79e2664b314cab6a30fc582fdfa7a1bb1df ]

In tcf_em_validate(), after calling request_module() to load the
kind-specific module, set em->ops to NULL before returning -EAGAIN, so
that module_put() is not called again by tcf_em_tree_destroy().
