The patch titled memory leak fix for whiteheat driver has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename is memory-leak-fix-for-whiteheat-driver.patch This patch was probably dropped from -mm because it has now been merged into a subsystem tree or into Linus's tree, or because it was folded into its parent patch in the -mm tree. From: Jesper Juhl <jesper.juhl@xxxxxxxxx> We may return from drivers/usb/serial/whiteheat.c::whiteheat_attach() without freeing `result' if we leave via the no_firmware: label.
