[IPV4]: Fix memory leak in inet_hashtables.h when NUMA is on
The inet_ehash_locks_alloc() looks like this: #ifdef CONFIG_NUMA if (size > PAGE_SIZE) x = vmalloc(...); else #endif x = kmalloc(...); Unlike it, the inet_ehash_locks_alloc() looks like this: #ifdef CONFIG_NUMA if (size > PAGE_SIZE) vfree(x); else #else kfree(x); #endif The error is obvious - if the NUMA is on and the size is less than the PAGE_SIZE we leak the pointer (kfree is inside the #else branch). Compiler doesn't warn us because after the kfree(x) there's a "x = NULL" assignment, so here's another (minor?) bug: we don't set x to NULL under certain circumstances. Boring explanation, I know... Patch explains it better. Signed-off-by: Pavel Emelyanov <xemul@openvz.org> Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>
