From 54a96c056ad1aca98bb78b869e022b7958372887 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jesper Juhl Date: Mon, 16 Jan 2012 21:28:37 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] staging, vt6656/wpactl.c: Fix mem leak in wpa_ioctl() If we hit the default case in the switch statement in wpa_ioctl() we'll leak the memory allocated to 'param' when the variable goes out of scope without having been assigned to anything. This patch fixes the leak by kfree()'ing the memory before we return from the function.
