From 952ab431cd36c7ab573f685af8679c3677cbdc29 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jesper Juhl Date: Thu, 28 Sep 2006 23:56:01 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] Driver core: Don't leak 'old_class_name' in drivers/base/core.c::device_rename() If kmalloc() fails to allocate space for 'old_symlink_name' in drivers/base/core.c::device_rename(), then we'll leak 'old_class_name'.
