Subject: [PATCH] viotape: Fix memory and semaphore leak
Date: Sat, 18 Jul 2009 15:06:33 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <200907181506.33499.mb@bu3sch.de> (raw)

This patch fixes a memory and semaphore leak in the viotape driver's
char device write op. It leaks the DMA memory and the semaphore lock
in case the device was opened with O_NONBLOCK.

This patch is only compile tested, because I do not have the hardware.

Signed-off-by: Michael Buesch <mb@bu3sch.de>
