Subject: [PATCH v3 17/18] rtla/utils: Fix resource leak in set_comm_sched_attr()
Date: Thu, 15 Jan 2026 13:32:00 -0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260115163650.118910-18-wander@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260115163650.118910-1-wander@redhat.com>

The set_comm_sched_attr() function opens the /proc directory via
opendir() but fails to call closedir() on its successful exit path.
If the function iterates through all processes without error, it
returns 0 directly, leaking the DIR stream pointer.

Fix this by refactoring the function to use a single exit path. A
retval variable is introduced to track the success or failure status.
All exit points now jump to a unified out label that calls closedir()
before the function returns, ensuring the resource is always freed.

Fixes: dada03db9bb19 ("rtla: Remove procps-ng dependency")
