From 7e56b5d698707a9934833c47b24d78fb0bcaf764 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Catalin Marinas Date: Fri, 21 Nov 2008 16:45:22 -0800 Subject: net: Fix memory leak in the proto_register function If the slub allocator is used, kmem_cache_create() may merge two or more kmem_cache's into one but the cache name pointer is not updated and kmem_cache_name() is no longer guaranteed to return the pointer passed to the former function. This patch stores the kmalloc'ed pointers in the corresponding request_sock_ops and timewait_sock_ops structures.
