[PATCH] Broadcom CNIC core network driver: fix mem leak on allocationfailures in cnic_alloc_uio_rings()

From: Jesper Juhl
Date: Sun Dec 26 2010 - 15:40:37 EST


Hi,

We are leaking memory in drivers/net/cnic.c::cnic_alloc_uio_rings() if
either of the calls to dma_alloc_coherent() fail. This patch fixes it by
freeing both the memory allocated with kzalloc() and memory allocated with
previous calls to dma_alloc_coherent() when there's a failure.
