Message-ID: <20060720191629.GD7643@lumumba.uhasselt.be>
Date: Thu, 20 Jul 2006 21:16:29 +0200
From: takis@...umba.uhasselt.be (Panagiotis Issaris)
To: linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org
Cc: paulus@...ba.org, linux-ppp@...r.kernel.org
Subject: [PATCH] Missing failure handling
From: Panagiotis Issaris <takis@...aris.org>
The PPP code contains two kmalloc()s followed by memset()s without
handling a possible memory allocation failure. (Suggested by
Joe Perches).
And furthermore, conversions from kmalloc+memset to kzalloc.
