Subject: ipvs: freeing uninitialized pointer on error
X-Git-Url: http://drtracing.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=b425df4cdd953a400d814b4474c9d3ec04481858;p=deliverable%2Flinux.git

ipvs: freeing uninitialized pointer on error

If state != IP_VS_STATE_BACKUP then tinfo->buf is uninitialized.  If
kthread_run() fails then it means we free random memory resulting in an
oops.
