Subject: [PATCH] md: Combine two kmalloc() calls into one in sb_equal()
Date: Fri, 09 Dec 2016 18:30:05 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <f4df733d-8e06-8ba1-c4c3-800d8c5615ba@users.sourceforge.net> (raw)

From: Markus Elfring <elfring@users.sourceforge.net>
Date: Fri, 9 Dec 2016 19:09:13 +0100

The function "kmalloc" was called in one case by the function "sb_equal"
without checking immediately if it failed.
This issue was detected by using the Coccinelle software.

Perform the desired memory allocation (and release at the end)
by a single function call instead.

Fixes: 1da177e4c3f41524e886b7f1b8a0c1fc7321cac2 ("Linux-2.6.12-rc2")
