From 2da049bd5f9b0dbd688519fdb6688a4895fe8395 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Javier Martinez Canillas Date: Wed, 27 Jun 2012 00:22:20 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] 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.
