Subject: [patch 4/6] physmap: fix leak of memory returned by parse_mtd_partitions
Date: Mon, 01 Dec 2008 14:23:39 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <200812012223.mB1MNdrR014535@imap1.linux-foundation.org> (raw)
From: Atsushi Nemoto <anemo@mba.ocn.ne.jp>
The mtd partition parser returns an allocated pointer array of
mtd_partition. The caller must free it. The array is used only for
add_mtd_partitions(), so free it just after the call.
