The closing bracket has the wrong indentation.

Need to check kmalloc() failure?  And also free tmp?

I came to state the same thing.

Also, when you do an empty for loop:

	for (; str[i] && str[i] != '}'; i++);

Always put the semicolon on the next line, otherwise it is really easy
to think that the next line is part of the for loop. That is, instead
of the above, do:

	for (; str[i] && str[i] != '}'; i++)
		;
