4.11-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------ From: Johannes Berg <[email protected]> [ Upstream commit c7a61cba71fd151cc7d9ebe53a090e0e61eeebf3 ] The change to remove free_netdev() from ieee80211_if_free() erroneously didn't add the necessary free_netdev() for when ieee80211_if_free() is called directly in one place, rather than as the priv_destructor. Add the missing call. Fixes: cf124db566e6 ("net: Fix inconsistent teardown and release of private netdev state.") Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <[email protected]> Signed-off-by: David S.
