[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



commit e21a2f17566cbd64926fb8f16323972f7a064444 upstream.

The following memory leak was reported after unbinding /dev/cachefiles:

==================================================================
unreferenced object 0xffff9b674176e3c0 (size 192):
  comm "cachefilesd2", pid 680, jiffies 4294881224

==================================================================

Put the reference count of cache_cred in cachefiles_daemon_unbind() to
fix the problem. And also put cache_cred in cachefiles_add_cache() error
branch to avoid memory leaks.
