Subject: [PATCH] Fix memory leak in sysfs_sd_setsecdata().
Date: Tue, 21 Feb 2012 07:43:50 +0900	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1329777830-2942-1-git-send-email-masami256@gmail.com> (raw)

This patch fixies follwing two memory leak patterns that reported by kmemleak.
sysfs_sd_setsecdata() is called during sys_lsetxattr() operation.
It checks sd->s_iattr is NULL or not. Then if it is NULL, it calls
sysfs_init_inode_attrs() to allocate memory.
That code is this.

iattrs = sd->s_iattr;
if (!iattrs)
                iattrs = sysfs_init_inode_attrs(sd);

The iattrs recieves sysfs_init_inode_attrs()'s result,  but sd->s_iattr
doesn't know the address. so it needs to set correct address to
sd->s_iattr to free memory in other function.
