From 3f61cd879c2f112c468e8849949b6fc88c739679 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jesper Juhl Date: Mon, 6 Feb 2012 11:28:21 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] bnx2x: Fix mem leak in bnx2x_tpa_stop() if build_skb() fails. We allocate memory for 'new_data' with kmalloc(). If we get the memory we then try to build_skb() and if that should fail (which it can) we do not enter 'if (likely(skb)) {' and actually use 'new_data' but instead fall through to the 'drop:' label and end up returning from the function without ever assigning 'new'data' to anything or freeing it. That leaks the memory allocated to 'new_data'. This patch fixes the memory leak by doing a kfree(new_data) in the case where build_skb() fails (or where allocation of 'new_data' itself fails, but in taht case it's just a harmless kfree(NULL)).
