Would a subject like “[PATCH v4] um: vector: Fix exception handling in vector_eth_configure()”
be more appropriate?


> This patch make out_free_netdev replace undo_user_init,

The resource cleanup was incomplete in the implementation of the function “vector_eth_configure”.
Thus replace the jump target “out_undo_user_init” by “out_free_netdev”.
