Subject: [PATCH v2] staging: rtl8188eu: fix potential leak in rtw_set_key()
Date: Thu, 1 May 2014 12:30:57 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20140501123057.5f00e30d@spike> (raw)

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 2370 bytes --]

Fix a potential leak in the error path of rtw_set_key(). In case the requested
algorithm is not supported by the driver, the function returns without
enqueuing or freeing the already allocated command and parameter structs. Use
a centralized exit path and make sure that all memory is freed correctly.
Detected by Coverity - CID 1077716, 1077717.

v2: Added changes requested by Dan Carpenter:

   * Just return directly where no cleanup is needed.
   * Prefer naming labels by the labeled action rather than the goto location.

Compile tested and applies against branch staging-next of tree
