[PATCH] HID: hidraw: fix a problem of memory leak in hidraw_release()

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

 



'struct hidraw_list' is a circular queue whose head can be smaller than
tail. Using 'list->tail != list->head' to release all memory that should
be released.
