+Subject: [PATCH] fix double free caused by freeing link af_data in
+ rtnl_link_set_family()
+
+Introduced by commit 8026fe2e3a9089eff3f5a06ee6e3cc78d96334ed ("link:
+Free and realloc af specific data upon rtnl_link_set_family()")
+
+link->l_af_data[link->l_af_ops->ao_family] is freed here but not set to
+zero. That leads to double free made by link_free_data->do_foreach_af.
+
+Fix this by setting link->l_af_data[link->l_af_ops->ao_family] to zero
+rigth after free.
