Subject[PATCH][RE-SEND] drivers/isdn/i4l/isdn_common.c fix small resource leak
From
Date
G'day people,


Coverity CID: 1356 RESOURCE_LEAK


I found a very old patch for this that was Acked but did not get applied
https://lists.linux-foundation.org/pipermail/kernel-janitors/2006-September/016362.html


There looks to be a small leak in isdn_writebuf_stub() in isdn_common.c,
when copy_from_user() returns an un-copied data length (length != 0).
The below patch should be a minimally invasive fix.
