From 50754d2188b04a679a249fb57751542643a436e0 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Wei Yongjun Date: Fri, 26 Apr 2013 15:34:16 +0000 Subject: genetlink: fix possible memory leak in genl_family_rcv_msg() 'attrbuf' is malloced in genl_family_rcv_msg() when family->maxattr && family->parallel_ops, thus should be freed before leaving from the error handling cases, otherwise it will cause memory leak.
