Subject[PATCH 1/2] CacheFiles: Fix memory leak in cachefiles_check_auxdata error paths
From
Date
From: Josh Boyer <jwboyer@redhat.com>

In cachefiles_check_auxdata(), we allocate auxbuf but fail to free it if we
determine there's an error or that the data is stale.

Further, assigning the output of vfs_getxattr() to auxbuf->len gives problems
with checking for errors as auxbuf->len is a u16. We don't actually need to
set auxbuf->len, so keep the length in a variable for now. We shouldn't need
to check the upper limit of the buffer as an overflow there should be
indicated by -ERANGE.

Whilst we're at it, fscache_check_aux() returns an enum value, not an int, so
assign it to an appropriately typed variable rather than to ret.
