From 337503431ac94ab2651af63f40623aa7eccf263b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jesper Juhl Date: Mon, 13 Feb 2012 00:15:02 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] Staging, rtl8192e, softmac: remove redundant memset and fix mem leak In drivers/staging/rtl8192e/rtllib_softmac.c::rtllib_rx_assoc_resp() we allocate memory for 'network' with kzalloc() and then proceed to zero the already zeroed mem we got from kzalloc() with memset(). That's redundant, so remove the memset() We also fail to kfree() the memory we allocated for 'network' if we do not enter if (ieee->current_network.qos_data.supported == 1) { and the variable then goes out of scope. To fix that I simply moved the kfree() that was inside that 'if' statement to instead be just after it. It then covers both the case where we take the branch and when we don't.
