+Subject: [PATCH] ioctl: add the memory free operation after send_ioctl call
+ fails
+
+The memory is not freed after send_ioctl fails in function do_gtunable and
+do_stunable. This will cause memory leaks.
+
+So this patch adds memory free operation after send_ioctl call fails.
+
+Fixes: b717ed22d984 ("ethtool: add support for get/set ethtool_tunable")
+Signed-off-by: Jie Wang <wangjie125@huawei.com>
