Subject[PATCH] staging: r8188eu: fix a memory leak in rtw_mp_QueryDrv()
Date
Line 6183 (#1) allocates a memory chunk for input by kmalloc().
Line 6204 (#3) frees the input before the function returns while
line 6190 (#2) forget to free it, which will lead to a memory leak.

We should kfree() input in line 6190 (#2).

6177 static int rtw_mp_QueryDrv(struct net_device *dev,
6178 struct iw_request_info *info,
6179 union iwreq_data *wrqu, char *extra)
6180 {
6182 char *input = kmalloc(wrqu->data.length, GFP_KERNEL);
// #1: kmalloc space

6186 if (!input)
6187 return -ENOMEM;

6189 if (copy_from_user(input, wrqu->data.pointer, wrqu->data.length))
6190 return -EFAULT; // #2: missing kfree

6204 kfree(input); // #3: kfree space
6205 return 0;
6206 }
