ext4: fix memory leak in xattr code.

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



If we take the 2nd retry path in ext4_expand_extra_isize_ea, we potentionally
return from the function without having freed these allocations.
If we don't do the return, we over-write the previous allocation pointers, 
so we leak either way.

Spotted with Coverity.
