Subject: [dlm] fix memory leak in dlm_add_member
Message-id: 20071129162532.GC8513@redhat.com
O-Subject: [RHEL5.2 PATCH] dlm: fix memory leak in dlm_add_member
Bugzilla: 358791

bz 358791

There's a memory leak in fs/dlm/member.c::dlm_add_member().
If "dlm_node_weight(ls->ls_name, nodeid)" returns < 0, then
we'll return without freeing the memory allocated to the (at
that point yet unused) 'memb'.
This patch frees the allocated memory in that case and thus
avoids the leak.
