5.10-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Hangyu Hua <hbh25y@xxxxxxxxx> commit ce07087964208eee2ca2f9ee4a98f8b5d9027fe6 upstream. When p9pdu_readf() is called with "s?d" attribute, it allocates a pointer that will store a string. But when p9pdu_readf() fails while handling "d" then this pointer will not be freed in p9_check_errors().
