Subject: staging: gdm72xx: fix an skb memory leak
X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=2da049bd5f9b0dbd688519fdb6688a4895fe8395;p=GitHub%2Fmoto-9609%2Fandroid_kernel_motorola_exynos9610.git

staging: gdm72xx: fix an skb memory leak

The NLMSG_PUT() macro contains a hidden goto that jumps to the
nlmsg_failure label. Since the sk_buff was allocated before the macro,
jumping to the nlmsg_failure label leaks the memory allocated for it.

Calling kfree() before returning would fix it, but is better to avoid
using this error prone macro and use nlmsg_put() instead.

Also, use nlmsg_data() instead of NLMSG_DATA() to check type.
