3.8-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Chen Gang <gang.chen@xxxxxxxxxxx> commit 12b2f117f3bf738c1a00a6f64393f1953a740bd4 upstream. audit_trim_trees() calls get_tree(). If a failure occurs we must call put_tree(). [akpm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx: run put_tree() before mutex_lock() for small scalability improvement] Signed-off-by: Chen Gang <gang.chen@xxxxxxxxxxx> Cc: Al Viro <viro@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Cc: Eric Paris <eparis@xxxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Jonghwan Choi <jhbird.choi@xxxxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> --- kernel/audit_tree.c | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) --- a/kernel/audit_tree.c +++ b/kernel/audit_tree.c @@ -617,9 +617,9 @@ void audit_trim_trees(void) } spin_unlock(&hash_lock); trim_marked(tree); - put_tree(tree); drop_collected_mounts(root_mnt); skip_it: + put_tree(tree); mutex_lock(&audit_filter_mutex); } list_del(&cursor); -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe stable" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
