Subject: [PATCH] ecryptfs: initialize new auth_tokens before teardown
Date: Tue, 11 Dec 2007 17:52:40 -0600	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <475F22C8.5040306@redhat.com> (raw)

ecryptfs_destroy_mount_crypt_stat() checks whether each 
auth_tok->global_auth_tok_key is nonzero and if so puts that
key.  However, in some early mount error paths nothing has initialized
the pointer, and we try to key_put() garbage.  Running the bad cipher 
tests in the testsuite exposes this, and it's happy with the following 
change.
