Subject[PATCH 6/6] ide-tape: fix mem leak
DateMon, 7 Apr 2008 06:45:04 +0200
FromBorislav Petkov <>
On failed struct idetape_bh allocation the logic frees only one buffer page
which was the old page-wise strategy. Doing that now would probably leak
2^order-1 pages so fix it to free all and not only the first buffer page.
