From 6a03f5f0a0a660895eac03749165c1f9313ef2b8 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Christian Borntraeger Date: Tue, 6 Oct 2009 10:33:58 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] [S390] module: fix memory leak in s390 module loader The s390 version of module_frob_arch_sections allocates additional syminfos for got and plt offsets. These syminfos are freed on sucessful module load. If the module fails to load (e.g. missing dependency when using insmod instead of modprobe) this area is not freed. This patch lets module_free free this area. Please note, we have to set the pointer to NULL since module_free is called several times from the generic code.
