Subject: [PATCH 21/29] fs/efivarfs: Fix double kfree() in error path
Date: Fri,  9 Sep 2016 16:18:43 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20160909151851.27577-22-matt@codeblueprint.co.uk> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20160909151851.27577-1-matt@codeblueprint.co.uk>

Julia reported that we may double free 'name' in efivarfs_callback(),
and that this bug was introduced by commit 0d22f33bc37c ("efi: Don't
use spinlocks for efi vars").

Move one of the kfree()s until after the point at which we know we are
definitely on the success path.
