From 09579ac803a3638344b8544b5940793d5358673e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Hans Wippel Date: Thu, 21 Sep 2017 09:16:26 +0200 Subject: net/smc: add missing dev_put In the infiniband part, SMC currently uses get_netdev which calls dev_hold on the returned net device. However, the SMC code never calls dev_put on that net device resulting in a wrong reference count. This patch adds a dev_put after the usage of the net device to fix the issue.
