Subject: [PATCH] rd: memory leak on rd_init() failure
Date: Mon, 9 Oct 2006 17:54:38 +0900 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20061009085437.GA5853@localhost> (raw)
If RAM disk driver initialization fails due to blk_alloc_queue() faulure,
the gendisk structs stored in rd_disks[] will not be freed completely.
This patch resolves that memory leak case by doing alloc_disk() and
blk_alloc_queue() at the same time.
