From 93574fcc5b50cc7b8834698acb2ce947e5b6a5dc Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Dan Carpenter Date: Wed, 11 Jul 2012 09:35:08 +0300 Subject: [PATCH] tracing: Check for allocation failure in __tracing_open() Clean up and return -ENOMEM on if the kzalloc() fails. This also prevents a potential crash, as the pointer that failed to allocate would be later used.
