Subject: [GIT PATCH 2/3] Resend : Fix memory leak in qcserial driver
Date: Mon, 28 Mar 2011 18:38:55 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20110328173854.GB7030@shardy.csb> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20110328142148.GA19521@suse.de>

Patch 2 of 3, addresses the problem where serial->private can end up pointing to freed memory in the event qcprobe fails & returns -ENODEV

Original description:
3 - Don't assign serial->private when doing the kzalloc or serial->private ends up pointing to freed memory in the event we return -ENODEV, instead call usb_set_serial_data(serial, data) at the end of the function, and only have one return-point.
