The patch number 12489 was added via Mauro Carvalho Chehab <mche...@redhat.com> to http://linuxtv.org/hg/v4l-dvb master development tree.
Kernel patches in this development tree may be modified to be backward compatible with older kernels. Compatibility modifications will be removed before inclusion into the mainstream Kernel If anyone has any objections, please let us know by sending a message to: Linux Media Mailing List <linux-me...@vger.kernel.org> ------ From: Dmitry Torokhov <dmitry.torok...@gmail.com> pwc - fix few use-after-free and memory leaks I just happen to peek inside the PWC driver and did not like what I saw there. Please consider applying the patch below.
