Subject: [PATCH net-next-2.6] l2tp: fix memory allocation
Date: Fri, 23 Apr 2010 12:53:39 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20100423105338.GA2853@psychotron.lab.eng.brq.redhat.com> (raw)

Since .size is set properly in "struct pernet_operations l2tp_net_ops",
allocating space for "struct l2tp_net" by hand is not correct, even causes
memory leakage.
