Subject: [PATCH] Fix module refcount leak in __set_personality()
Date: Wed, 15 Feb 2006 21:58:55 +0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20060215185855.GE8670@procyon.home> (raw)

If the change of personality does not lead to change of exec domain,
__set_personality() returned without releasing the module reference
acquired by lookup_exec_domain().
