From bdf2829cb673afc3aeb4f04531546c7605e8d94e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Nicholas Krause Date: Sat, 31 Jan 2015 00:17:54 -0500 Subject: [PATCH] ipmi: Free ipmi_recv_msg messages from the linked list on close This adds a loop through the elements in the linked list, recv_msgs using list_for_entry_safe in order to free messages in this list. In addition we are using the safe version of this marco in order to prevent use after bugs related to deleting the element we are on currently by holding a pointer to the next element after the current one we are on and freeing with the function, ipmi_free_recv_msg internally in this loop.
