From 8d25e15d94a2d7b60c28d3a30e4e0e780cab2056 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Colin Ian King Date: Tue, 19 Dec 2017 11:48:25 -0500 Subject: media: lirc: don't kfree the uninitialized pointer txbuf The current error exit path if ir_raw_encode_scancode fails is via the label out_kfree which kfree's an uninitialized pointer txbuf. Fix this by exiting via a new exit path that does not kfree txbuf. Also exit via this new exit path for a failed allocation of txbuf to avoid a redundant kfree on a NULL pointer (to save a bunch of CPU cycles).
