From e6436be21e77e3659b4ff7e357ab5a8342d132d2 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Johannes Berg Date: Tue, 26 Apr 2016 13:47:08 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] mac80211: fix statistics leak if dev_alloc_name() fails In the case that dev_alloc_name() fails, e.g. because the name was given by the user and already exists, we need to clean up properly and free the per-CPU statistics. Fix that.
