Subject: [PATCH] hwmon: (pmbus) Fix krealloc() misuse in pmbus_add_attribute()
Date: Thu, 14 Mar 2013 13:30:20 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1363267820.4853.41.camel@i7.infradead.org> (raw)
[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 1488 bytes --]
If krealloc() returns NULL, it *doesn't* free the original. So any code
of the form 'foo = krealloc(foo, …);' is almost certainly a bug.
