3.6.11.2 stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Cong Wang [ Upstream commit 4a7df340ed1bac190c124c1601bfc10cde9fb4fb ] vlan_vid_del() could possibly free ->vlan_info after a RCU grace period, however, we may still refer to the freed memory area by 'grp' pointer. Found by code inspection. This patch moves vlan_vid_del() as behind as possible. Cc: Patrick McHardy Cc: "David S. Miller" Signed-off-by: Cong Wang Acked-by: Eric Dumazet Signed-off-by: David S.
