Subject: [PATCH 13/16] Driver core: Don't leak 'old_class_name' in drivers/base/core.c::device_rename()
Date: Wed, 18 Oct 2006 13:09:04 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <11612021872574-git-send-email-greg@kroah.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <11612021841579-git-send-email-greg@kroah.com>

From: Jesper Juhl <jesper.juhl@gmail.com>

If kmalloc() fails to allocate space for 'old_symlink_name' in
drivers/base/core.c::device_rename(), then we'll leak 'old_class_name'.

Spotted by the Coverity checker.
