[PATCH 4.1 48/65] kaiser: fix unlikely error in alloc_ldt_struct()

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

 



From: Hugh Dickins <hughd@xxxxxxxxxx>

An error from kaiser_add_mapping() here is not at all likely, but
Eric Biggers rightly points out that __free_ldt_struct() relies on
new_ldt->size being initialized: move that up.
