From f294526279cda8934b0313ebd02184a16ba888c9 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Dan Carpenter Date: Sun, 19 Jul 2009 14:46:09 +0300 Subject: [PATCH] lguest: dereferencing freed mem in add_eventfd() "new" was freed and then dereferenced. Also the return value wasn't being used so I modified the caller as well. Compile tested only.
