Subject: [GIT PATCH 2/3 (2nd draft)] Resend : Fix memory leak in qcserial driver
Date: Mon, 28 Mar 2011 23:16:37 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20110328221636.GA8195@shardy.csb> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20110328142148.GA19521@suse.de>
Second draft of patch #2, this addresses the review comments made by Aristeu Rozanski, now usb_set_serial_data() is only called when we are not returning -ENODEV
Original description:
Don't assign serial->private when doing the kzalloc or serial->private ends up pointing to freed memory in the event we return -ENODEV, instead call usb_set_serial_data(serial, data) at the end of the function, and only have one return-point.
