The patch titled dccp: fix memory leak and clean up style - dccp_feat_empty_confirm() has been added to the -mm tree. Its filename is dccp-fix-memory-leak-and-clean-up-style-dccp_feat_empty_confirm.patch *** Remember to use Documentation/SubmitChecklist when testing your code *** See http://www.zip.com.au/~akpm/linux/patches/stuff/added-to-mm.txt to find out what to do about this ------------------------------------------------------ Subject: dccp: fix memory leak and clean up style - dccp_feat_empty_confirm() From: Jesper Juhl <jesper.juhl@xxxxxxxxx> There's a memory leak in net/dccp/feat.c::dccp_feat_empty_confirm(). If we hit the 'default:' case of the 'switch' statement, then we return without freeing 'opt', thus leaking 'struct dccp_opt_pend' bytes. The leak is fixed easily enough by adding a kfree(opt); before the return statement. The patch also changes the layout of the 'switch' to be more in line with CodingStyle.
