From bd28899dd34f9283c567f7eeb31bb546f10820b5 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Dan Carpenter Date: Mon, 16 Apr 2018 13:17:50 +0300 Subject: [PATCH] Revert "macsec: missing dev_put() on error in macsec_newlink()" This patch is just wrong, sorry. I was trying to fix a static checker warning and misread the code. The reference taken in macsec_newlink() is released in macsec_free_netdev() when the netdevice is destroyed. This reverts commit 5dcd8400884cc4a043a6d4617e042489e5d566a9.
