[PATCH 4.4 097/100] mtd: phram: fix a double free issue in error path

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

 



From: Wen Yang <wenyang@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

commit 49c64df880570034308e4a9a49c4bc95cf8cdb33 upstream.

The variable 'name' is released multiple times in the error path,
which may cause double free issues.
This problem is avoided by adding a goto label to release the memory
uniformly. And this change also makes the code a bit more cleaner.
