Subject: [patch 40/47] drivers/char/pcmcia/ipwireless/hardware.c fix resource leak
Date: Tue, 22 Jul 2008 16:17:23 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20080722231723.GO8282@suse.de> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20080722231342.GA8282@suse.de>

[-- Attachment #1: drivers-char-pcmcia-ipwireless-hardware.c-fix-resource-leak.patch --]
[-- Type: text/plain, Size: 1248 bytes --]

2.6.25-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let us
know.

------------------
From: Darren Jenkins <darrenrjenkins@gmail.com>

commit 43f77e91eadbc290eb76a08110a039c809dde6c9 upstream

Coverity CID: 2172 RESOURCE_LEAK

When pool_allocate() tries to enlarge a packet, if it can not allocate enough
memory, it returns NULL without first freeing the old packet.

This patch just frees the packet first.
