Subject: slub: fix leak of 'name' in sysfs_slab_add
Date: Thu, 6 Mar 2014 16:11:41 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20140306211141.GA17009@redhat.com> (raw)
The failure paths of sysfs_slab_add don't release the allocation of 'name'
made by create_unique_id() a few lines above the context of the diff below.
Create a common exit path to make it more obvious what needs freeing.
