Subject: [PATCH] e1000: memory leak in e1000_set_ringparam()
Date: Fri, 18 Aug 2006 17:33:11 +0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <44E5C197.5040301@sw.ru> (raw)

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 377 bytes --]

Memory leak was found in 2.6.18-rc4 and e1000 7.2.7 from sourceforge:
Memory allocated for new tx_ring and rx_ring leaks if e1000_setup_XX_resources()
fails.c Also this patch reduces stack usage (removed tx_new and rx_new) and uses
kzalloc instead kmalloc+memset(0)

Signed-off-by: Vasily Averin <vvs@sw.ru>
