Subject: [PATCH] NFC: netlink: remove unexpected nfc_put_device
Date:   Tue, 27 Nov 2018 15:54:35 +0800
Message-Id: <1543305275-23051-1-git-send-email-bianpan2016@163.com>
Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org
Precedence: bulk

The functions nfc_genl_llc_set_params and nfc_genl_llc_sdreq drops the
reference to dev via nfc_put_device on the error branch that no local
device is found. However, the error handling block reads dev's field and
then put dev again. This may result in use-after-free bugs. The patch
removes the unexpected call to nfc_put_device.
