From 17b7e1ba1e2ecc9a09f5e154e555accd2a2eaedf Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jesper Juhl Date: Thu, 12 Apr 2012 00:35:46 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] staging: vt6656: Don't leak memory in drivers/staging/vt6656/ioctl.c::private_ioctl() If copy_to_user() fails in the WLAN_CMD_GET_NODE_LIST case of the switch in drivers/staging/vt6656/ioctl.c::private_ioctl() we'll leak the memory allocated to 'pNodeList'. Fix that by kfree'ing the memory in the failure case. Also remove a pointless cast (to type 'PSNodeList') of a kmalloc() return value - kmalloc() returns a void pointer that is implicitly converted, so there is no need for an explicit cast.
