Subject: [PATCH] fix for memory leak in scsi_prep_fn
Date: 28 Jan 2003 12:32:45 -0600	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1043778768.2991.74.camel@mulgrave> (raw)

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 192 bytes --]



This should fix the memory leak Russell King spotted if command
initialisation fails in the request prep function.

The patch is against the scsi-combined-2.5 bkbits.net repository.
