[PATCH] dm ioctl: bugfix for kvfree() in free_params()

Show all headers | View raw

The ioctl parameter block consists of two parts, a dm_ioctl struct
followed by a data buffer. Don't free the parameter block when the
data buffer is empty.

Fixes: 30c2a1f('dm ioctl: use kvfree() in free_params()')
