Subject: [2.6 patch] kernel/taskstats.c: fix bogus nlmsg_free()
Date: Wed, 24 Oct 2007 18:25:54 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20071024162554.GC30533@stusta.de> (raw)

We'd better not nlmsg_free on a pointer containing an undefined value
(and without having anything allocated)...

Spotted by the Coverity checker.
