Subject: [PATCH 3.8-stable]  kernel/audit_tree.c: tree will leak memory when failure occurs in audit_trim_trees()
Date: Tue, 30 Apr 2013 17:44:01 +0900	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <007001ce457e$dcfff1c0$96ffd540$%choi@samsung.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: 

This patch looks like it should be in the 3.8-stable tree, should we apply
it?

------------------

From: "Chen Gang <gang.chen@asianux.com>"

commit 12b2f117f3bf738c1a00a6f64393f1953a740bd4 upstream

audit_trim_trees() calls get_tree().  If a failure occurs we must call
put_tree().

[akpm@linux-foundation.org: run put_tree() before mutex_lock() for small
scalability improvement]
