Subject: [PATCH 06/10] UBIFS: fix memory leak on error path
Date: Fri, 3 Jun 2011 16:49:57 +0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1307109001-19761-7-git-send-email-dedekind1@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1307109001-19761-1-git-send-email-dedekind1@gmail.com>
From: Artem Bityutskiy <Artem.Bityutskiy@nokia.com>
UBIFS leaks memory on error path in 'ubifs_jnl_update()' in case of write
failure because it forgets to free the 'struct ubifs_dent_node *dent' object.
Although the object is small, the alignment can make it large - e.g., 2KiB
if the min. I/O unit is 2KiB.
