Can someone check this? AFAICT this is buggy.

static int llc_ui_autobind(struct socket *sock, struct sockaddr_llc *addr)
{
        struct sock *sk = sock->sk;
        struct llc_sock *llc = llc_sk(sk);
        struct llc_sap *sap;
        int rc = -EINVAL;

        if (!sock_flag(sk, SOCK_ZAPPED))
                goto out;

There are 'goto out's from both before dev_get() and after it,
dev_put() will be called with NULL pointer. dev_put() can't handle
NULL at least in the old kernels... this is simply confused.

Mainline has dev_put_track() there, but I see same confusion.

Best regards,
