Subject: [Resend Patch] fs/binfmt_elf.c: fix a wrong free
Date: Tue, 6 May 2008 12:45:35 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20080506044535.GH2893@hack> (raw)
In kmalloc failing path, we shouldn't free pointers in 'info',
because the struct 'info' is uninitilized when kmalloc is called.
And when kmalloc returns NULL, it's needless to kfree it.
