Subject: Re: [PATCH 1/2] ubifs: Fix potential memory leaks while iterating entries
Date: Mon, 1 Jun 2020 14:00:48 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <2bec05b7-78d3-fa36-134a-efbe977933e3@web.de> (raw)

> Fix some potential memory leaks in error handling branches while

Such information is useful.


> For example, function ubifs_tnc_remove_ino()
> forgets to free pxent if it exists. Similar problems also exist in
> ubifs_purge_xattrs(), ubifs_add_orphan() and ubifs_jnl_write_inode().

Can an other wording variant be a bit nicer?


I suggest to avoid the specification of duplicate function calls
(also for the desired exception handling).
Will it be helpful to add a few jump targets?
