Subject: [PATCH] ext4: Fix invalid free of cache->name after ext4_mb_init() error
Date: Mon, 24 Jan 2011 13:42:27 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1295876547-6338-1-git-send-email-chris@chris-wilson.co.uk> (raw)
The name allocated for the kmem_cache was being freed in the error path even
if that name was still assigned to the newly created cache.
