Subject: [PATCH] x86: Fix io_bitmap_ptr memory leak on copy_process()
Date: Tue, 08 Feb 2011 14:00:22 +0900 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <4D50CDE6.5000903@mvista.com> (raw)
x86 copy_thread() allocates io_bitmap_ptr area in child's thread_struct
when the parent has TIF_IO_BITMAP flag via ioperm().
And in this case, if copy_process() terminates with errors
after copy_thread() success,
this io_bitmap_ptr area is being left without kfree().
