From 46e4690bbd9a4f8d9e7c4f34e34b48f703ad47e0 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Tao Ma Date: Mon, 4 Apr 2011 16:00:49 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] ext4: fix a double free in ext4_register_li_request In ext4_register_li_request, we malloc a ext4_li_request and inserts it into ext4_li_info->li_request_list. In case of any error later, we free it in the end. But if we have some error in ext4_run_lazyinit_thread, the whole li_request_list will be dropped and freed in it. So we will double free this ext4_li_request. This patch just sets elr to NULL after it is inserted to the list so that the latter kfree won't double free it.
