From 5f719558edf9c84bfbb1f7ad37e84c483282d09f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: WANG Cong Date: Tue, 6 May 2008 12:45:35 +0800 Subject: [PATCH] [Patch] fs/binfmt_elf.c: fix a wrong free In kmalloc failing path, we shouldn't free pointers in 'info', because the struct 'info' is uninitilized when kmalloc is called. And when kmalloc returns NULL, it's needless to kfree it.
