[PATCH v2] mtd: rawnand: Fix a memory leak bug

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

 



In nand_scan_bbt(), a temporary buffer 'buf' is allocated through
vmalloc(). However, if check_create() fails, 'buf' is not deallocated,
leading to a memory leak bug. To fix this issue, free 'buf' before
returning the error.
