Subject: [PATCH] net/x25: Add missing x25_neigh_put
Date: Tue, 1 Jan 2008 22:07:04 +0100 (CET)	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <Pine.LNX.4.64.0801012206090.19803@ask.diku.dk> (raw)

From: Julia Lawall <julia@diku.dk>

The function x25_get_neigh increments a reference count.  At the point of
the second goto out, the result of calling x25_get_neigh is only stored in
a local variable, and thus no one outside the function will be able to
decrease the reference count.  Thus, x25_neigh_put should be called before
the return in this case.


The problem was found using the following semantic match.
