From 43f77e91eadbc290eb76a08110a039c809dde6c9 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Darren Jenkins Date: Sat, 12 Jul 2008 13:47:49 -0700 Subject: drivers/char/pcmcia/ipwireless/hardware.c fix resource leak Coverity CID: 2172 RESOURCE_LEAK When pool_allocate() tries to enlarge a packet, if it can not allocate enough memory, it returns NULL without first freeing the old packet. This patch just frees the packet first.
