Hi Dave,

Thanks for committing the patches to CVS.

I found a comment below:

since 'pv->vg_name' is allocated after 'pv' from the same pool,
freeing 'pv' will free 'pv->vg_name' as well.
So we don't have to do dm_pool_free(mem, pv->vg_name) here.

However,

I agree moving pv->vg_name allocation outside of _alloc_pv() is better.

Thanks,
