From b91aac29bb9b7cab34b0297449bd2a16944b83d9 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jesper Juhl Date: Sat, 8 Mar 2008 02:16:07 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] PCI Hotplug: Fix small mem leak in IBM Hot Plug Controller Driver In drivers/pci/hotplug/ibmphp_ebda.c::ebda_rsrc_controller(), storage is allocated with kzalloc() and assigned to 'tmp_slot'. Then lots of stuff, like ->flag, ->supported_speed etc is set in tmp_slot. A bit further down there's then this test : if (!bus_info_ptr1) { rc = -ENODEV; goto error; } At this point, tmp_slot has not been assigned to anything, so when erroring-out we want to free it, but nothing at the 'error:' label free's 'tmp_slot' - and we can't really free 'tmp_slot' at 'error:' since we may jump to that label later when 'tmp_slot' *has* been used and we do not want it freed. So, the only sane option left seems to be to kfree(tmp_slot) just before jumping to the 'error:' label in the one place where this is what actually makes sense. The following patch does just that and thus kills off a tiny potential memory leak.
