From af4d3643864ee5fcba0c97d77a424fa0b0346f8e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Guillaume Knispel Date: Tue, 9 Dec 2008 15:28:34 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] powerpc: Fix corruption error in rh_alloc_fixed() There is an error in rh_alloc_fixed() of the Remote Heap code: If there is at least one free block blk won't be NULL at the end of the search loop, so -ENOMEM won't be returned and the else branch of "if (bs == s || be == e)" will be taken, corrupting the management structures.
