[added to the 3.18 stable tree] iio: light: hid-sensor-als.c: Fix memory leak in probe()

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

 



From: Fabio Estevam <fabio.estevam@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

This patch has been added to the 3.18 stable tree. If you have any
objections, please let us know.

===============

[ Upstream commit 9ecdbed7903921f29adae63a3155814b453e7186 ]

'channels' is allocated via kmemdup and it is never freed in the
subsequent error paths.

Use 'indio_dev->channels' directly instead, so that we avoid such
memory leak problem.
