Subject: [PATCH linux-next] agp: correct missing cleanup on error in agp_add_bridge
Date: Sat, 25 Jul 2009 22:30:09 -0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <4A6BB1A1.50308@gmail.com> (raw)
While investigating a kmemleak detected leak, I encountered the
agp_add_bridge function. It appears to be responsible for freeing
the agp_bridge_data in the case of a failure, but it is only doing
so for some errors.
Fix it to always free the bridge data if a failure condition is
encountered.
Signed-off-by: Kevin Winchester <kjwinchester@gmail.com>

Note that this seems like a reasonable change to me, but this patch
did not get rid of the kmemleak report, so I don't even have that as
evidence of its correctness. Please review.
