Subject: [PATCH 1/5] ipvs: freeing uninitialized pointer on error
Date: Sat,  9 Feb 2013 13:03:56 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1360411440-6526-2-git-send-email-pablo@netfilter.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1360411440-6526-1-git-send-email-pablo@netfilter.org>

From: Dan Carpenter <dan.carpenter@oracle.com>

If state != IP_VS_STATE_BACKUP then tinfo->buf is uninitialized.  If
kthread_run() fails then it means we free random memory resulting in an
oops.
