[PATCH] UDF: Close small mem leak in udf_find_entry()

From: Jesper Juhl
Date: Sun Dec 12 2010 - 17:24:46 EST


Hi,

There's a small memory leak in fs/udf/namei.c::udf_find_entry().

We dynamically allocate memory for 'fname' with kmalloc() and in most
situations we free it before we leave the function, but there is one
situation where we do not (but should). This patch closes the leak by
jumping to the 'out_ok' label which does the correct cleanup rather than
doing half the cleanup and returning directly.
