[PATCH] staging: wilc1000: fix memory leak on mgmt_tx on error return path

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

 



From: Colin Ian King <colin.king@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Static analysis with cppcheck found the following memory leak:

[drivers/staging/wilc1000/linux_mon.c:255]: (error) Memory leak: mgmt_tx

Free mgmt_tx on the error return path when mgmt_tx->buff fails to be
allocated.
