Subject: Fix memory leak in write_pool_threads
X-Git-Url: https://git.karo-electronics.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=2522a776c1b9b5c93383d07717f895cc1a56a87a;p=linux-beck.git

Fix memory leak in write_pool_threads

kmemleak produces the following warning

unreferenced object 0xc9ec02a0 (size 8):
  comm "cat", pid 19048, jiffies 730243
  backtrace:
    [<c01bf970>] create_object+0x100/0x240

write_pool_threads() only frees nthreads on error paths, in the success case
we leak it.
