Subject: [PATCH] mtd: fix memory leak in block2mtd_setup()
Date: Sun, 14 May 2006 01:42:25 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <200605140142.25486.jesper.juhl@gmail.com> (raw)

There's a mem leak in drivers/mtd/devices/block2mtd.c::block2mtd_setup()

We can leak 'name' allocated with kmalloc in 'parse_name' if leave via
the 'parse_err' macro since it contains a return but doesn't do any 
freeing.

Spotted by coverity checker as bug 615.
