Subject: Drivers: hv: vmbus: Cleanup vmbus_close_internal()
From: "K. Y. Srinivasan" <[email protected]>
commit 98d731bb064a9d1817a6ca9bf8b97051334a7cfe upstream.
Eliminate calls to BUG_ON() in vmbus_close_internal().
We have chosen to potentially leak memory, than crash the guest
in case of failures.
In this version of the patch I have addressed comments from
Dan Carpenter ([email protected]).
