Subject: [PATCH] Call slave_destroy in scsi_alloc_sdev error path
Date: Fri, 9 Jan 2004 11:02:44 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20040109160244.GL30627@localhost> (raw)
[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 350 bytes --]
Hello,
This patch fixes a potential memory leak in scsi_alloc_sdev.
If slave_alloc kmallocs memory and the get_device() (around line 245)
fails then we goto the error path. The error path never calls
slave_destroy.
This patch fixes this problem.
