Subject: [PATCH v2] erofs-utils: lib: fix fd leak in erofs_metamgr_init()
Date: Wed, 2 Apr 2026 16:50:21 +0530 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260402111800.v2-1-deepakpathik2005@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260401194000.1-deepakpathik2005@gmail.com>
In erofs_metamgr_init(), erofs_tmpfile() returns a file
descriptor stored in m2gr->vf.fd. If the subsequent
erofs_buffer_init() call fails, the function returns -ENOMEM
without closing this file descriptor.
The caller erofs_metadata_init() handles this failure at
err_free, which only frees the m2gr struct. The fd is
therefore leaked with no remaining reference to close it.
The success path correctly cleans up via erofs_metamgr_exit(),
which calls erofs_io_close(&m2gr->vf). Mirror that behaviour
on the error path by closing the fd before returning.

v2: use erofs_io_close() instead of raw close(); rebased on latest upstream/dev
