[PATCH] gpiolib: fix freeing of descriptors on error

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



When the main loop in linehandle_create() encounters an error, it
fails to free one of the previously-requested GPIO descriptors.
This renders the unfreed GPIO unusable until reboot, and leaves
its label pointing to free'd kernel memory.
