Subject: [PATCH][IPVS] Don't leak sysctl tables if the scheduler registration fails
Date: Mon, 03 Dec 2007 13:04:53 +0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <4753D4C5.4040301@openvz.org> (raw)

In case we load lblc or lblcr module we can leak some sysctl
tables if the call to register_ip_vs_scheduler() fails.

I've looked at the register_ip_vs_scheduler() code and saw, that
the only reason to fail is the name collision, so I think that
with some 3rd party schedulers this becomes a relevant issue. No?
