From 1c795ebd00042b3a5c97e049fd1c08763714a7a8 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Alexey Khoroshilov Date: Wed, 8 Aug 2012 10:58:00 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] iio/adjd_s311: Fix potential memory leak in adjd_s311_update_scan_mode() Do not leak memory by updating pointer with potentially NULL realloc return value. There is no need to preserve data in the buffer, so replace krealloc() by kfree()-kmalloc() pair. Found by Linux Driver Verification project (linuxtesting.org).
