From 4946d54cb55e86a156216fcfeed5568514b0830f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Rik van Riel Date: Mon, 5 Apr 2010 12:13:33 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] rmap: fix anon_vma_fork() memory leak Fix a memory leak in anon_vma_fork(), where we fail to tear down the anon_vmas attached to the new VMA in case setting up the new anon_vma fails. This bug also has the potential to leave behind anon_vma_chain structs with pointers to invalid memory.
