Darwish" <[email protected]> Date: Thu, 26 Feb 2015 10:20:11 -0500 Subject: [PATCH] can: kvaser_usb: Avoid double free on URB submission failures Upon a URB submission failure, the driver calls usb_free_urb() but then manually frees the URB buffer by itself. Meanwhile usb_free_urb() has alredy freed out that transfer buffer since we're the only code path holding a reference to this URB. Remove two of such invalid manual free(). Signed-off-by: Ahmed S.
