[PATCH 5.15 086/215] powerpc/boot: Only free if realloc() succeeds

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

 



5.15-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Michael Ellerman <mpe@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit f2d5bccaca3e8c09c9b9c8485375f7bdbb2631d2 ]

simple_realloc() frees the original buffer (ptr) even if the
reallocation failed.

Fix it to behave like standard realloc() and only free the original
buffer if the reallocation succeeded.
