[PATCH 4.14 074/115] macvlan: Fix one possible double free
From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Fri Mar 02 2018 - 04:03:11 EST
4.14-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Gao Feng <gfree.wind@xxxxxxxxxxx>
[ Upstream commit d02fd6e7d2933ede6478a15f9e4ce8a93845824e ]
Because the macvlan_uninit would free the macvlan port, so there is one
double free case in macvlan_common_newlink. When the macvlan port is just
created, then register_netdevice or netdev_upper_dev_link failed and they
would invoke macvlan_uninit. Then it would reach the macvlan_port_destroy
which triggers the double free.
