ide: Two fixes regarding memory allocation
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
In function ide_devset_execute() we should use __GFP_WAIT rather than
GFP_KERNEL. Also, the allocation cannot possibly fail at that point.
More importantly, there is a potential memory leak in the device probing
code. The infrastructure seems rather complex and I hope I haven't messed
anything up by trying to fix this.
