4.9-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Vasily Averin <vvs@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> commit d47b41aceeadc6b58abc9c7c6485bef7cfb75636 upstream. According to comment in dlm_user_request() ua should be freed in dlm_free_lkb() after successful attach to lkb. However ua is attached to lkb not in set_lock_args() but later, inside request_lock().
