From d46a3d0d07ba539aea5b0e1ad30e568f0cb03576 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Oleg Nesterov Date: Sun, 29 Oct 2006 16:45:58 +0300 Subject: [PATCH] [PATCH] taskstats: fix sk_buff leak 'return genlmsg_cancel()' in taskstats_user_cmd/taskstats_exit_send potentially leaks a skb. Unless we pass 'rep_skb' to the netlink layer we own sk_buff. This means we should always do kfree_skb() on failure.
