[PATCH] SCSI, LSI Fusion MPT: Fix memory leak inmptctl_getiocinfo()

From: Jesper Juhl
Date: Sun Dec 26 2010 - 16:23:44 EST


Hi,

A 'kfree(karg)' is missing in a failure path in
drivers/message/fusion/mptctl.c::mptctl_getiocinfo() which can cause a
memory leak. This patch should take care of that.

Hope I didn't miss something obvious, but to me it looks like adding this
kfree() is the right thing to do. If you disagree feel free to correct me
:-)
