From: Takashi Iwai Date: Thu, 4 Dec 2014 10:56:42 +0000 (+0100) Subject: drm: Fix memory leak at error path of drm_read() X-Git-Url: https://git.karo-electronics.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=a0a0bde32a4668656cdffac677032a101c170c6b;p=linux-beck.git drm: Fix memory leak at error path of drm_read() Note that the read manpages explicitly states that the read position is undefined on error. Since EFAULT is just a userspace bug we are therefore fine with just dropping the event on the floor.
