From 4f678a58d335291ce9213c049bbe16e6d24487ed Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jesper Juhl Date: Sun, 14 May 2006 01:07:18 +0200 Subject: mtd: fix memory leaks in phram_setup There are two code paths in drivers/mtd/devices/phram.c::phram_setup() that will leak memory. Memory is allocated to the variable 'name' with kmalloc() by the parse_name() function, but if we leave by way of the parse_err() macro, then that memory is never kfree()'d, nor is it ever used with register_device() so it won't be freed later either - leak. Found by the Coverity checker as #593 - simple fix below.
