[PATCH 4.12 77/84] pstore: Fix leaked pstore_record in pstore_get_backend_records()

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

 



4.12-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Douglas Anderson <dianders@xxxxxxxxxxxx>

commit f6525b96dd9f68efe374e5aef864975e628de991 upstream.

When the "if (record->size <= 0)" test is true in
pstore_get_backend_records() it's pretty clear that nobody holds a
reference to the allocated pstore_record, yet we don't free it.

Let's free it.

Fixes: 2a2b0acf768c ("pstore: Allocate records on heap instead of stack")
