Subject: [PATCH] pipe_rdwr_fasync: fix the error handling to prevent the leak/crash
Date: Sun, 18 Jan 2009 04:26:49 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20090118032649.GA19301@redhat.com> (raw)
If the second fasync_helper() fails, pipe_rdwr_fasync() returns the error
but leaves the file on ->fasync_readers.
This was always wrong, but since 233e70f4228e78eb2f80dc6650f65d3ae3dbf17c
"saner FASYNC handling on file close" we have the new problem. Because in
this case setfl() doesn't set FASYNC bit, __fput() will not do ->fasync(0),
and we leak fasync_struct with ->fa_file pointing to the freed file.
