Subject: ext4: fix memory leak in ext4_xattr_set_acl()'s error path
X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=24ec19b0ae83a385ad9c55520716da671274b96c;p=GitHub%2Fexynos8895%2Fandroid_kernel_samsung_universal8895.git

ext4: fix memory leak in ext4_xattr_set_acl()'s error path

In ext4_xattr_set_acl(), if ext4_journal_start() returns an error,
posix_acl_release() will not be called for 'acl' which may result in a
memory leak.

This patch fixes that.
