[PATCH 3/3] mm/memblock.c: eliminate potential memleak in memblock_double_array

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

 



In memblock_double_array, we don't deal with old_array if we use
slab for new_array. So the memory used by old_array may be lost.
Add logic to try to free old_array when using slab for new_array.
