Subject: [PATCH] ipvs: freeing uninitialized pointer on error
Date: Mon, 28 Jan 2013 10:18:34 +0900 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1359335914-27325-2-git-send-email-horms@verge.net.au> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1359335914-27325-1-git-send-email-horms@verge.net.au>
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.
