[PATCH] dm: ioctl: prevent double freeing

From: Sudip Mukherjee
Date: Fri Sep 04 2015 - 07:22:58 EST


DM_PARAMS_KMALLOC and DM_PARAMS_VMALLOC should never be set together in
param_flags. We are setting these flags while allocating so we know that
there is almost no chance of having these two set together but still we
can have some additional safety.
