This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled perf daemon: Fix file leak in daemon_session__control to the 6.8-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: perf-daemon-fix-file-leak-in-daemon_session__control.patch and it can be found in the queue-6.8 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit e0db6a482dc458229402c5190bd308bbde25f794 Author: Samasth Norway Ananda <samasth.norway.ananda@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Thu May 9 17:34:24 2024 -0700 perf daemon: Fix file leak in daemon_session__control [ Upstream commit 09541603462c399c7408d50295db99b4b8042eaa ] The open() function returns -1 on error. The 'control' and 'ack' file descriptors are both initialized with open() and further validated with 'if' statement. 'if (!control)' would evaluate to 'true' if returned value on error were '0' but it is actually '-1'.
