This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled cifs: don't leak -ENOMEM in smb2_open_file() to the 6.1-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: cifs-don-t-leak-enomem-in-smb2_open_file.patch and it can be found in the queue-6.1 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit 1a6d754b5a837448234f7fb67c817788d1db5b7d Author: Paulo Alcantara <pc@xxxxxx> Date: Mon Dec 19 10:21:50 2022 -0300 cifs: don't leak -ENOMEM in smb2_open_file() [ Upstream commit f60ffa662d1427cfd31fe9d895c3566ac50bfe52 ] A NULL error response might be a valid case where smb2_reconnect() failed to reconnect the session and tcon due to a disconnected server prior to issuing the I/O operation, so don't leak -ENOMEM to userspace on such occasions.
