Subject: [PATCH 05/14] sysfs: avoid kmem_cache_free(NULL)
Date: Wed, 18 Jul 2007 16:25:41 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1184801169806-git-send-email-gregkh@suse.de> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <118480116414-git-send-email-gregkh@suse.de>

From: Akinobu Mita <akinobu.mita@gmail.com>

kmem_cache_free() with NULL is not allowed. But it may happen
if out of memory error is triggered in sysfs_new_dirent().
This patch fixes that error handling.
