[PATCH] Fix strange size check in __get_vm_area_node()
Recently, __get_vm_area_node() was changed like following if (unlikely(!area)) return NULL; - if (unlikely(!size)) { - kfree (area); + if (unlikely(!size)) return NULL; - } It is leaking `area', also original code seems strange already. Probably, we wanted to do this patch. Signed-off-by: OGAWA Hirofumi <hirofumi@mail.parknet.co.jp> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
