Revision 2cc6d2bf3d6195fabcf0febc192c01f99519a8f3 authored by Neil Horman on 24 September 2010, 09:55:52 UTC, committed by David S. Miller on 27 September 2010, 02:09:25 UTC
Clean up a missing exit path in the ipv6 module init routines.  In
addrconf_init we call ipv6_addr_label_init which calls register_pernet_subsys
for the ipv6_addr_label_ops structure.  But if module loading fails, or if the
ipv6 module is removed, there is no corresponding unregister_pernet_subsys call,
which leaves a now-bogus address on the pernet_list, leading to oopses in
subsequent registrations.  This patch cleans up both the failed load path and
the unload path.  Tested by myself with good results.
