[PATCH] staging, media, easycap: Fix mem leak ineasycap_usb_probe()

From: Jesper Juhl
Date: Sun Jan 29 2012 - 15:55:15 EST


If allocating 'pdata_urb' fails, the function will return -ENOMEM
without freeing the memory allocated, just a few lines above, for
'purb' and will leak that memory when 'purb' goes out of scope.

This patch resolves the leak by freeing the allocated storage with
usb_free_urb() before the return.
