    Subject[PATCH 3.12 13/88] netlink: Fix dump skb leak/double free
    Date
    From: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>

    3.12-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

    ===============

    [ Upstream commit 92964c79b357efd980812c4de5c1fd2ec8bb5520 ]

    When we free cb->skb after a dump, we do it after releasing the
    lock. This means that a new dump could have started in the time
    being and we'll end up freeing their skb instead of ours.

    This patch saves the skb and module before we unlock so we free
    the right memory.

    Fixes: 16b304f3404f ("netlink: Eliminate kmalloc in netlink dump operation.")
