ieee802154: Don't leak memory in ieee802154_nl_fill_phy
In net/ieee802154/nl-phy.c::ieee802154_nl_fill_phy() I see two small issues. 1) If the allocation of 'buf' fails we may just as well return -EMSGSIZE directly rather than jumping to 'out:' and do a pointless kfree(0). 2) We do not free 'buf' unless we jump to one of the error labels and this leaks memory. This patch should address both. Signed-off-by: Jesper Juhl <jj@chaosbits.net> Acked-by: Dmitry Eremin-Solenikov <dbaryshkov@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@conan.davemloft.net>
