4.20-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Cong Wang <xiyou.wangcong@xxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit d5c7c745f254c6cb98b3b3f15fe789b8bd770c72 ] When x25_asy_open() fails, it already cleans up by itself, so its caller doesn't need to free the memory again. It seems we still have to call x25_asy_free() to clear the SLF_INUSE bit, so just set these pointers to NULL after kfree().
