[PATCH 01/41] TTY: pty, stop passing NULL to free_tty_struct

flat view
STALE5179d

From: Jiri Slaby <hidden>
Date: 2012-08-07 19:57:12
Subsystem: the rest, tty layer and serial drivers · Maintainers: Linus Torvalds, Greg Kroah-Hartman, Jiri Slaby

In case alloc_tty_struct fails in pty_common_install, we pass NULL to
free_tty_struct. This is invalid as the function is not ready to cope
with that. And even if it was, it is not nice to do that anyway.
