Subject: [PATCH][cciss] Fix a small memory leak in the cciss driver
Date: Fri, 20 Jul 2007 23:58:37 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <200707202358.37140.jesper.juhl@gmail.com> (raw)
Hello,
There's a memory leak in the cciss driver.
in alloc_cciss_hba() we may leak sizeof(ctlr_info_t) bytes if a
call to alloc_disk(1 << NWD_SHIFT) fails.
This patch should fix the issue.
Spotted by the Coverity checker.
Compile tested only.
