It isn't perfectly clear to me if you are implying there is a problem
with the proposed patch or not, so I thought it might help to try and
add some clarity.

The patch above frees the cipso_v4_doi->map.std field, which is only
valid when the cipso_v4_doi->type field is equal to
CIPSO_V4_MAP_TRANS. This is why the cipso_v4_doi_free() function
checks the type field before freeing the cipso_v4_doi->map related
fields, and why the proposed patch places the new kfree() inside that
conditional code block.

If we look at netlalbel_cipsov4_add_pass() we see that the first thing
it does after allocating a cipso_v4_doi struct is to set the type
field to CIPSO_V4_MAP_PASS. Any calls to cipso_v4_doi_free after this
point will not end up calling the proposed kfree() addition due to the
cipso_v4_doi->type check.

We see something very similar with netlbl_cipsov4_add_local(),
although in this case the type field is set to CIPSO_V4_MAP_LOCAL.
This type value will also not trigger the proposed kfree().

If you are aware of any other potential issues with this patch please
do let us know, but from what I can see, the two concerns you
presented here are not problems with the current or proposed code.
