From e5bc49ba7439b9726006d031d440cba96819f0f8 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Oleg Nesterov Date: Thu, 12 Mar 2009 14:31:28 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] pipe_rdwr_fasync: fix the error handling to prevent the leak/crash If the second fasync_helper() fails, pipe_rdwr_fasync() returns the error but leaves the file on ->fasync_readers. This was always wrong, but since 233e70f4228e78eb2f80dc6650f65d3ae3dbf17c "saner FASYNC handling on file close" we have the new problem. Because in this case setfl() doesn't set FASYNC bit, __fput() will not do ->fasync(0), and we leak fasync_struct with ->fa_file pointing to the freed file.
