Subject: [PATCH] PCI/MSI: simplify populate_msi_sysfs()
Date: Thu, 27 Feb 2014 08:56:35 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <530F0BD3020000780011FC25@nat28.tlf.novell.com> (raw)

While originally this was a patch to fix the two memory leaks (which
got preempted by the two commits that went in the day before I wanted
to submit this fix), I think this can (and should) be done more
efficiently:
- swapping the order of the two allocations and storing the
  msi_dev_attr-derived pointer right after allocation, allowing the
  cleanup code to pick things up without extra effort
- using kasprintf() instead of the kmalloc()/sprintf() pair
