From: Oleg Drokin Date: Fri, 31 Jan 2014 20:41:58 +0000 (-0500) Subject: Fix mountpoint reference leakage in linkat X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=d22e6338db7f613dd4f6095c190682fcc519e4b7;p=GitHub%2FLineageOS%2FG12%2Fandroid_kernel_amlogic_linux-4.9.git Fix mountpoint reference leakage in linkat Recent changes to retry on ESTALE in linkat (commit 442e31ca5a49e398351b2954b51f578353fdf210) introduced a mountpoint reference leak and a small memory leak in case a filesystem link operation returns ESTALE which is pretty normal for distributed filesystems like lustre, nfs and so on. Free old_path in such a case. [AV: there was another missing path_put() nearby - on the previous goto retry] Signed-off-by: Oleg Drokin: Signed-off-by: Al Viro --- diff --git a/fs/namei.c b/fs/namei.c index 445d9bbc21eb..d580df2e6804 100644 --- a/fs/namei.c +++ b/fs/namei.c @@ -3926,10 +3926,13 @@ out_dput: done_path_create(&new_path, new_dentry); if (delegated_inode) { error = break_deleg_wait(&delegated_inode); - if (!error) + if (!error) { + path_put(&old_path); goto retry; + } } if (retry_estale(error, how)) { + path_put(&old_path); how |= LOOKUP_REVAL; goto retry; }
