Subject: uml: Eliminate temporary buffer in eth_configure
X-Git-Tag: v2.6.22-rc1~869
X-Git-Url: https://err.no/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=8c8408358f19a386298744829bf67b90c129ff18;p=linux-2.6

uml: Eliminate temporary buffer in eth_configure

Avoid using the temporary buffer introduced by previous patch to hold the
device name.

Btw, avoid leaking device on an error path.  Other error paths may need
cleanup.
