[NETFILTER]: Fix memory leak in ipt_recent
The Coverity checker spotted that we may leak 'hold' in net/ipv4/netfilter/ipt_recent.c::checkentry() when the following is true: if (!curr_table->status_proc) { ... if(!curr_table) { ... return 0; <-- here we leak. Simply moving an existing vfree(hold); up a bit avoids the possible leak. Signed-off-by: Jesper Juhl <jesper.juhl@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Patrick McHardy <kaber@trash.net> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
