The patch titled Subject: taskstats: cgroupstats_user_cmd() may leak on error has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was taskstats-cgroupstats_user_cmd-may-leak-on-error.patch This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree ------------------------------------------------------ From: Jesper Juhl <jj@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Subject: taskstats: cgroupstats_user_cmd() may leak on error If prepare_reply() succeeds we have allocated memory for 'rep_skb'. If nla_reserve() then subsequently fails and returns NULL we fail to release the memory we allocated, thus causing a leak.
