[PATCH v2 1/2] module: Fix memory deallocation on error path in move_module()

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



The function move_module() uses the variable t to track how many memory
types it has allocated and consequently how many should be freed if an
error occurs.

The variable is initially set to 0 and is updated when a call to
module_memory_alloc() fails. However, move_module() can fail for other
reasons as well, in which case t remains set to 0 and no memory is freed.

Fix the problem by initializing t to MOD_MEM_NUM_TYPES. Additionally, make
the deallocation loop more robust by not relying on the mod_mem_type_t enum
having a signed integer as its underlying type.
