Subject: [PATCH] sg: fix memory leaks
Date: Thu, 26 Sep 2013 13:54:10 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <524474C2.6010600@interlog.com> (raw)
[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 420 bytes --]
This patch plugs two memory leaks in the sg driver. The
first was reported by Vegard Nossum and the second was
found by checking for the same pattern.
ChangeLog:
- close two heap memory leaks. The first is an error
path; the second is associated with getting debug
information from procfs and sysfs.
The patch is generated from lk 3.12.0-rc2 .
