4.14-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Cong Wang <xiyou.wangcong@xxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit 59b36613e85fb16ebf9feaf914570879cd5c2a21 ] When tipc_node_find_by_name() fails, the nlmsg is not freed. While on it, switch to a goto label to properly free it. Fixes: be9c086715c ("tipc: narrow down exposure of struct tipc_node") Reported-by: Dmitry Vyukov <dvyukov@xxxxxxxxxx> Cc: Jon Maloy <jon.maloy@xxxxxxxxxxxx> Cc: Ying Xue <ying.xue@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Cong Wang <xiyou.wangcong@xxxxxxxxx> Acked-by: Ying Xue <ying.xue@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: David S.
