From 3e9f714fb58b14d0cf5465dbec55b20b5446d607 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Marek Lindner Date: Fri, 7 Sep 2018 05:45:54 +0800 Subject: [PATCH] batman-adv: fix backbone_gw refcount on queue_work() failure [ Upstream commit 5af96b9c59c72fb2af2d19c5cc2f3cdcee391dff ] The backbone_gw refcounter is to be decreased by the queued work and currently is never decreased if the queue_work() call fails. Fix by checking the queue_work() return value and decrease refcount if necessary.
