[PATCH] NFSv4: Memory not being freed on memory allocation failure

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

 



nfs4_run_open_task() puts a ref count on the nfs4_opendata
data pointer, then tries to allocate the task pointer.
If that task allocation fails nfs4_run_open_task() returns
leaving the ref count on the data pointer.

That extra ref count stops the data pointer from being
freed in _nfs4_do_open() as expected.

This patch reverse the order of the task allocation and
ref count. The task is allocated before the ref count
is done, allowing the allocation to fail (and return)
without the ref count.
