Subject: [PATCH -next v2] virtio: fix possible memory leak in virtqueue_add()
Date: Tue, 2 Aug 2016 14:16:31 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1470147391-20549-1-git-send-email-weiyj.lk@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1470146345-19531-1-git-send-email-weiyj.lk@gmail.com>
'desc' is malloced in virtqueue_add() and should be freed before
leaving from the error handling cases, otherwise it will cause
memory leak.
