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. Signed-off-by: Jesper Juhl <jesper.juhl@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>
