Subject: [PATCH] Don't leak 'old_class_name' in drivers/base/core.c::device_rename()
Date: Thu, 28 Sep 2006 23:56:01 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <200609282356.01962.jesper.juhl@gmail.com> (raw)

If kmalloc() fails to allocate space for 'old_symlink_name' in
drivers/base/core.c::device_rename(), then we'll leak 'old_class_name'.

Spotted by the Coverity checker.
