Subject: [PATCH] Drivers: hv: vmbus: Don't leak memory when a channel is rescinde
Date: Mon, 27 Mar 2017 09:33:48 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <MWHPR03MB266963FB206226B6D88DF81EBF330@MWHPR03MB2669.namprd03.prod.outlook.com> (raw)

Hi, Can you please help to backport the patch to the stable tree?

Tn Linus's tree, the patch's commit ID is:
5e030d5ce9d99a899b648413139ff65bab12b038

As described in the its changelog, it fixes a memory leak issue, which
affects VMBus users like the hv_sock driver. Rolf (in Cc) reported that the
memory can be eaten up quickly with hv_sock press test.

The patch only needs to be applied to the 4.10 and 4.9 branches, whose
latest versions are v4.10.6 and v4.9.18, respectively.

Thanks,
-- Dexuan
