[PATCH 3.16.y-ckt 095/216] KEYS: Fix stale key registration at error path

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

 



3.16.7-ckt4 -stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Takashi Iwai <tiwai@xxxxxxx>

commit b26bdde5bb27f3f900e25a95e33a0c476c8c2c48 upstream.

When loading encrypted-keys module, if the last check of
aes_get_sizes() in init_encrypted() fails, the driver just returns an
error without unregistering its key type.  This results in the stale
entry in the list.  In addition to memory leaks, this leads to a kernel
crash when registering a new key type later.

This patch fixes the problem by swapping the calls of aes_get_sizes()
and register_key_type(), and releasing resources properly at the error
paths.
