Subject: [PATCH] xfs: avoid double-free in xfs_attr_node_addname
Date: Wed, 31 Jul 2013 20:18:54 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <51F9B77E.2030005@redhat.com> (raw)

xfs_attr_node_addname()'s error handling tests whether it
should free "state" in the out: error handling label:

out:
        if (state)
                xfs_da_state_free(state);

but an earlier free doesn't set state to NULL afterwards; this
could lead to a double free.  Fix it by setting state to NULL
after it's freed.

This was found by Coverity.

Note: Exact same patch should hit xfsprogs - I could send another,
or maybe SGI can just apply it in both trees?

Thanks,
-Eric
