From f937f1f46b6d2f9bef94e0d6b769a4c67615d34e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jesper Juhl Date: Mon, 15 Oct 2007 01:39:12 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] [NETLINK]: Don't leak 'listeners' in netlink_kernel_create() The Coverity checker spotted that we'll leak the storage allocated to 'listeners' in netlink_kernel_create() when the if (!nl_table[unit].registered) check is false. This patch avoids the leak. Signed-off-by: Jesper Juhl Acked-by: "Eric W. Biederman" Signed-off-by: David S.
