Subject: [PATCH] cgroups: avoid accessing uninitialized data in failure path
Date: Tue, 23 Dec 2008 11:22:04 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <4950595C.9070907@cn.fujitsu.com> (raw)
If cgroup_get_rootdir() failed, free_cg_links() will be called
in the failure path, but tmp_cg_links hasn't been initialized
at that time.
I should be blamed to introduce this bug in 2.6.26 merge window.
