Subject: [GIT PATCH 3/3] Resend : Fix memory leak in qcserial driver
Date: Mon, 28 Mar 2011 18:41:19 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20110328174119.GC7030@shardy.csb> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20110328142148.GA19521@suse.de>
Patch 3 of 3, this simply adds a couple of missing free's in the error path:
Original description:
2 - Ensure that the serial->private data is freed in the event of the probe failing and returning -ENODEV. This error-path leak is less likely but still possible, it was discussed previously but not actually fixed AFAICS: http://kerneltrap.org/mailarchive/linux-kernel/2010/6/14/4582980/thread, http://lkml.org/lkml/2010/6/20/234
