4.14-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Martin Kepplinger <martink@xxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit c896f85a7c15ab9d040ffac8b8003e47996602a2 ] Let's free the allocated rec_argv in case we return early, in order to avoid leaking memory. This adds free() at a few very similar places across the tree where it was missing.
