Subject: [PATCH] blktrace: pass the right pointer to kfree()
Date: Thu, 09 Apr 2009 11:19:40 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <49DD694C.8020902@cn.fujitsu.com> (raw)

If passing a string with leading white spaces to strstrip(),
the returned ptr != the original ptr.

This bug was introduced by me.
