From 607566aeccde6ffccde5eef173ed0d277eec4a2d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Josh Boyer Date: Fri, 20 Sep 2013 14:17:52 +0100 Subject: CacheFiles: Fix memory leak in cachefiles_check_auxdata error paths In cachefiles_check_auxdata(), we allocate auxbuf but fail to free it if we determine there's an error or that the data is stale. Further, assigning the output of vfs_getxattr() to auxbuf->len gives problems with checking for errors as auxbuf->len is a u16. We don't actually need to set auxbuf->len, so keep the length in a variable for now. We shouldn't need to check the upper limit of the buffer as an overflow there should be indicated by -ERANGE. While we're at it, fscache_check_aux() returns an enum value, not an int, so assign it to an appropriately typed variable rather than to ret.
