From 94a6735cd67375029c2092e6d46f14b2721e6793 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jesper Juhl Date: Fri, 23 Jun 2006 02:05:27 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] i4l: memory leak fix for sc_ioctl(). Fix leak of `rcvmsg' in sc_ioctl(). There are two returns in the switch in sc_ioctl (the SCIOCSTART case) that may leak `rcvmsg'. This patch fixes that by adding a kfree() call at the beginning of that case. Bug found by the coverity checker as #1098 Eric Sesterhenn send me a patch to fix the leak(s) by adding 2 kfree() calls before the returns, I changed that into just a single call at the beginning.
