From 45e0fffc8a7778282e6a1514a6ae3e7ae6545111 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Andrey Vagin Date: Mon, 24 May 2010 12:15:33 -0700 Subject: [PATCH 1/1] posix_timer: Fix error path in timer_create Move CLOCK_DISPATCH(which_clock, timer_create, (new_timer)) after all posible EFAULT erros. *_timer_create may allocate/get resources. (for example posix_cpu_timer_create does get_task_struct) [ tglx: fold the remove crappy comment patch into this ] Signed-off-by: Andrey Vagin Cc: Oleg Nesterov Cc: Pavel Emelyanov Cc: Reviewed-by: Stanislaw Gruszka Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner --- kernel/posix-timers.c | 11 ++++------- 1 file changed, 4 insertions(+), 7 deletions(-) diff --git a/kernel/posix-timers.c b/kernel/posix-timers.c index 00d1fda58ab6..ad723420acc3 100644 --- a/kernel/posix-timers.c +++ b/kernel/posix-timers.c @@ -559,14 +559,7 @@ SYSCALL_DEFINE3(timer_create, const clockid_t, which_clock, new_timer->it_id = (timer_t) new_timer_id; new_timer->it_clock = which_clock; new_timer->it_overrun = -1; - error = CLOCK_DISPATCH(which_clock, timer_create, (new_timer)); - if (error) - goto out; - /* - * return the timer_id now.
