[PATCH] SCSI, target: Avoid mem leak and needless work intransport_generic_get_mem().

From: Jesper Juhl
Date: Sat Jan 29 2011 - 17:20:35 EST


In drivers/target/target_core_transport.c::transport_generic_get_mem()
there are a few potential memory leaks in the error paths. This patch
makes sure that we free previously allocated memory when other allocations
fail. It also moves some work (INIT_LIST_HEAD() and assignment to
se_mem->se_len) below all the allocations so that if something fails we
don't do the work at all.

Please review and consider for inclusion.
I don't have any hardware to actually test this so it is compile tested
only.
