Miller" <davem@...emloft.net> Subject: [ 049/133] pppoe: drop PPPOX_ZOMBIEs in pppoe_release 3.5-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Xiaodong Xu <stid.smth@...il.com> [ Upstream commit 2b018d57ff18e5405823e5cb59651a5b4d946d7b ] When PPPOE is running over a virtual ethernet interface (e.g., a bonding interface) and the user tries to delete the interface in case the PPPOE state is ZOMBIE, the kernel will loop forever while unregistering net_device for the reference count is not decreased to zero which should have been done with dev_put().
