[PATCH] splice: fix possible memory leak in vmsplice_to_user().

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

 



Since commit 6130f5315 ("switch vmsplice_to_user() to copy_page_to_iter()"),
rw_copy_check_uvector is used for sanity check, however, iov can be leaked if
that check failed.

So, fix it by handling this error path properly.
