Hi, In fs/nfs/proc.c::nfs_proc_symlink() we will leak memory if either nfs_alloc_fhandle() or nfs_alloc_fattr() returns NULL but the other one doesn't. This patch ensures memory allocated by one when the other fails is always released (this is safe since nfs_free_fattr() and nfs_free_fhandle() both call kfree which deals gracefully with NULL pointers).
