Subject: [PATCH 3/4] UML - Eliminate temporary buffer in eth_configure
Date: Wed, 28 Mar 2007 11:28:48 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20070328152848.GA6340@c2.user-mode-linux.org> (raw)

From: Paolo 'Blaisorblade' Giarrusso <blaisorblade@yahoo.it>
  
Avoid using the temporary buffer introduced by previous patch to hold the
device name.

Btw, avoid leaking device on an error path. Other error paths may need cleanup.
