From: Lee Schermerhorn Date: Tue, 29 Jun 2010 22:05:30 +0000 (-0700) Subject: mempolicy: fix dangling reference to tmpfs superblock mpol X-Git-Tag: v2.6.35-rc4~32 X-Git-Url: http://ftp.safe.ca/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=5c0c165490e763eddcbb0b6c8c41ab5cc11ddea0;p=safe%2Fjmp%2Flinux-2.6 mempolicy: fix dangling reference to tmpfs superblock mpol My patch to "Factor out duplicate put/frees in mpol_shared_policy_init() to a common return path"; and Dan Carpenter's fix thereto both left a dangling reference to the incoming tmpfs superblock mempolicy structure. A similar leak was introduced earlier when the nodemask was moved offstack to the scratch area despite the note in the comment block regarding the incoming ref. Move the remaining 'put of the incoming "mpol" to the common exit path to drop the reference.
