Subject: [PATCH 8/8] staging: dgap: fix memory leak in dgap_parsefile()
Date: Tue, 15 Jul 2014 12:05:14 +0900 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20140715030456.GA14420@devel.8.8.4.4> (raw)
The p->u.board.status is allocated and set a string as
"No" once within allocating a node of BNODE type.
But it also set again with kstrdup() in case of "STATUS"
or "ID". If it is not allocated yet, use kstrdup().
If not, use just memcpy().
