Subject[PATCH] net: usbnet: fix a memory leak bug
Date
In usbnet_start_xmit(), 'urb->sg' is allocated through kmalloc_array() by
invoking build_dma_sg(). Later on, if 'CONFIG_PM' is defined and the if
branch is taken, the execution will go to the label 'deferred'. However,
'urb->sg' is not deallocated on this execution path, leading to a memory
leak bug.
