> The following program leads to a leak of struct lapb_cb:

I looked into this report a bit, and although I couldn't figure out
how lapb_cb could be leaked, I definitely found an x25_asy object
leak in this driver.

====================
[PATCH] x25_asy: Free x25_asy on x25_asy_open() failure.

Based upon a report by Dmitry Vyukov.
