[libvirt] [PATCH] uml_driver.c: avoid leak upon failure

Without this, it looked like every caller (there's only one; the other use is if-0'd out) could leak the result buffer. From: Jim Meyering <meyering(a)redhat.com&gt; Date: Mon, 15 Feb 2010 19:22:38 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] uml_driver.c: avoid leak upon failure * src/uml/uml_driver.c (umlMonitorCommand): This function would sometimes return -1, yet fail to free the "reply" it had allocated. Hence, no caller would know to free the corresponding argument. When returning -1, be sure to free all allocated resources. --- src/uml/uml_driver.c | 7 +++++-- 1 files changed, 5 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) diff --git a/src/uml/uml_driver.c b/src/uml/uml_driver.c index 5049c92..10268db 100644 --- a/src/uml/uml_driver.c +++ b/src/uml/uml_driver.c @@ -1,7 +1,7 @@ /* * uml_driver.c: core driver methods for managing UML guests * - * Copyright (C) 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009 Red Hat, Inc. + * Copyright (C) 2006-2010 Red Hat, Inc. * Copyright (C) 2006-2008 Daniel P.
