Re: [PATCH] tty/n_gsm.c: fix a memory leak in gsmld_open

[xinhui.pan]

hi, All
	thanks for reading. Below is my trigger.

----------------------------------------
#define WARN(x) do{		\
	KLOG_ERROR("XINHUI",x);	\
}while(0)

int main()
{
	KLOG_ERROR("XINHUI", "hello world :)\n");
	long fp[4];
	int i = 0;
	int next[4]={1,2,3,0};

	do{
		char path[64] = "dev/tty30";
		path[strlen(path) - 1] = '0' + i;

		fp[i] = open(path, O_RDWR);
		if (fp[i] == -1){
			WARN("mlk tty open fails\n");
			return 0;
		}
	}while(++i < 4);

	i = 0;
	do{
		int p = 21;
		int ret = ioctl(fp[i], TIOCSETD , &p);
		if (ret != 0) {
			WARN("mlk tty ioctl fails\n");
		}
		i = next[i];
	}while(1);
/* never run here, just ctrl^C */

	return 0 ;
}
----------------------------------------

without this patch, running my own tests.

my result:

PROCRANK:
.....
RAM: 1993076K total, 147968K free, 708K buffers, 108340K cached, 332K shmem, 1092232K slab
AWESOME!

cat /proc/slabinfo
.....
kmalloc-2048      509700 509700   2048   16    8 : tunables    0    0    0 : slabdata  32285  32285      0
.....
AWESOME!!

thanks,
