Possible memory leak in xfrm_policy_insert

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

 



The atomic_dec on delpol->refcnt looks a bit sus.  For an otherwise unused
policy, this could mean that it will stay in the system forever as the
refcnt would be zero before it hits the final pol_put.  For others it means
that last user will have it pulled from underneath them.

Am I missing something obvious here?
