From 495b21761a4bf50c0453766ed8fdcfed075d43ff Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Alexandre Courbot Date: Thu, 11 Dec 2014 04:07:20 +0900 Subject: [PATCH] drm/nouveau: sgdma: add comment around suspiscious error handler Common programming sense dictates that resources allocated by a function are freed by this function should it fails, but this is not the case for the allocated structure of nouveau_sgdma_create_ttm(). It seems that n00b contributors attempt to fix this one like bugs flying towards a bug zapper, so add a comment to hopefully prevent this from happening anymore.
