Subject: taskstats: cgroupstats_user_cmd() may leak on error
X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=0324b5a450f8a58304e93c5d886add24ca3527bc;p=GitHub%2FLineageOS%2Fandroid_kernel_motorola_exynos9610.git

taskstats: cgroupstats_user_cmd() may leak on error

If prepare_reply() succeeds we have allocated memory for 'rep_skb'.  If
nla_reserve() then subsequently fails and returns NULL we fail to release
the memory we allocated, thus causing a leak.
