Message-Id: <1376369315-5170-1-git-send-email-nilanjan.roychowdhury@gmail.com> Date: Mon, 12 Aug 2013 21:48:35 -0700 From: Nilanjan Roychowdhury <nilanjan.roychowdhury@...il.com> To: linux-mtd@...ts.infradead.org, David Woodhouse <dwmw2@...radead.org>, Ezequiel Garcia <ezequiel.garcia@...e-electrons.com> Cc: linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org, Nilanjan Roychowdhury <nilanjan.roychowdhury@...il.com> Subject: [PATCH 1/1] Resubmit mtd: mtdoops: fix for a potential memory leak in mtdoops_notify_remove we are allocating cxt->oops_page_used using vmalloc in mtdoops_notify_add for every mtd_info addition but not freeing it in mtdoops_notify_remove. Also care is taken so that we do not free the same pointer again in module remove.
