Subject: [PATCH v3 02/19] selftests/resctrl: Don't leak buffer in fill_cache()
Date: Mon,  5 Jun 2023 21:01:28 +0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20230605180145.112924-3-ilpo.jarvinen@linux.intel.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20230605180145.112924-1-ilpo.jarvinen@linux.intel.com>

The error path in fill_cache() does return before the allocated buffer
is freed leaking the buffer.

The leak was introduced when fill_cache_read() started to return errors
in c7b607fa9325 ("selftests/resctrl: Fix null pointer dereference on
open failed"), before that both fill functions always returned 0.

Move free() earlier to prevent the mem leak.

Fixes: c7b607fa9325 ("selftests/resctrl: Fix null pointer dereference on open failed")
