[PATCH] cdc-phonet: Don't leak in usbpn_open

From: Jesper Juhl
Date: Tue Aug 07 2012 - 17:56:29 EST


We allocate memory for 'req' with usb_alloc_urb() and then test
'if (!req || rx_submit(pnd, req, GFP_KERNEL | __GFP_COLD))'.
If we enter that branch due to '!req' then there is no problem. But if
we enter the branch due to 'req' being != 0 and the 'rx_submit()' call
being false, then we'll leak the memory we allocated.
Deal with the leak by always calling 'usb_free_urb(req)' when entering
the branch. If 'req' happens to be 0 then the call is harmless, if it
is not 0 then we free the memory we allocated but don't need.
