[PATCH v2] ipw2200: fix memory leak in ipw_wdev_init()

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

 



In the error path of ipw_wdev_init(), exception value is returned, and
the memory applied for in the function is not released. Also the memory
is not released in ipw_pci_probe(). As a result, memory leakage occurs.
So memory release needs to be added to the error path of ipw_wdev_init().

Fixes: a3caa99e6c68 ("libipw: initiate cfg80211 API conversion (v2)")
