From 3fa582663129330d57d15b97ae534dc1203fc3aa Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Chen Gang Date: Tue, 12 Nov 2013 15:11:22 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] kernel/taskstats.c: add nla_nest_cancel() for failure processing between nla_nest_start() and nla_nest_end() When failure occurs between nla_nest_start() and nla_nest_end(), we should call nla_nest_cancel() to clean up related things.
