From: Gao Feng <gfree.w...@foxmail.com> The ip_tunnel allocates some resources in its ndo_init func, and free some of them in its destructor func. Then there is one memleak that some errors happen after register_netdevice invokes the ndo_init callback. Because only the ndo_uninit callback is invoked in the error handler of register_netdevice, but destructor not.
Now create one new func ip_tunnel_destructor_free to free the mem in the destructor, and ndo_uninit func also invokes it when fail to register the ip_tunnel device. It's not only free all resources, but also follow the original desgin that the resources are freed in the destructor normally after register the device successfully.
