If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Feras Daoud commit 4542d66bb26f2d021c70a78e46f183c6675fc4c9 upstream. The flow of creating a new child goes through ipoib_vlan_add which allocates a new interface and checks the rtnl_lock. If the lock is taken, restart_syscall will be called to restart the system call again. In this case we are not releasing the already allocated interface, causing a leak.
