From 7ff6764061ecd4a4ef91db7b8b30aacc6a8573c9 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Oleg Nesterov Date: Wed, 27 Feb 2013 17:02:52 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] usermodehelper: cleanup/fix __orderly_poweroff() && argv_free() __orderly_poweroff() does argv_free() if call_usermodehelper_fns() returns -ENOMEM. As Lucas pointed out, this can be wrong if -ENOMEM was not triggered by the failing call_usermodehelper_setup(), in this case both __orderly_poweroff() and argv_cleanup() can do kfree(). Kill argv_cleanup() and change __orderly_poweroff() to call argv_free() unconditionally like do_coredump() does. This info->cleanup() is not needed (and wrong) since 6c0c0d4d "fix bug in orderly_poweroff() which did the UMH_NO_WAIT => UMH_WAIT_EXEC change, we can rely on the fact that CLONE_VFORK can't return until do_execve() succeeds/fails.
