Subject: [PATCH] ntfs3: fix memory leak in indx_insert_into_root()
Author: kartikey406@gmail.com

#syz test: git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git master


When indx_create_allocate() succeeds but a subsequent
operation fails (indx_get_root() returning NULL,
indx_new() failing, or the allocation itself failing),
the run list allocated in run_add_entry() via
attr_allocate_clusters() is never freed, causing a
memory leak.

Fix this by adding a new out_free_alloc label that
calls run_close() on indx->alloc_run before the
existing cleanup labels, and redirecting the affected
error paths to use it.

Author: kartikey406@gmail.com

#syz test: git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git master


Two memory leak paths exist in the NTFS3 index
allocation code:

1. When indx_create_allocate() fails internally,
   run_deallocate() frees disk clusters but never
   frees the run.runs memory allocated by
   attr_allocate_clusters() via run_add_entry().
   Fix by adding run_close(&run) at the out: label.

2. When indx_create_allocate() succeeds but a
   subsequent operation fails (indx_get_root()
   returning NULL, indx_new() failing), the run
   list copied into indx->alloc_run is never freed.
   Fix by adding out_free_alloc label that calls
   run_close(&indx->alloc_run).
