Don't use numberred labels.  The label names should say what the goto
does just like a function name says what calling the function does.
The existing label names in this function mostly use "Come From" label
style which is not useful either.

When you're writing probe function keep track in your head of the most
recent successful allocation and then when an error occurs that's what
you have to free.

	a = alloc();
	if (!a)
		return;  <-- nothing to free

	b = alloc();
	if (!b)
		goto free_a;  <-- good name.  a is the most recent.

	c = alloc();
	if (!c)
		goto free_b;

	return 0;

free_b:
	free(b);
free_a:
	free(a);

Then copy and past the error handling and add a free(c) to create the
release function:

void release(struct foo *p)
{
	free(c);
	free(b);
	free(a);

}
