Free old_path in such a case. [AV: there was another missing path_put() nearby - on the previous goto retry] Signed-off-by: Oleg Drokin: Signed-off-by: Al Viro --- diff --git a/fs/namei.c b/fs/namei.c index 445d9bb..d580df2 100644 --- a/fs/namei.c +++ b/fs/namei.c @@ -3926,10 +3926,13 @@ out_dput: done_path_create(&new_path, new_dentry); if (delegated_inode) { error = break_deleg_wait(&delegated_inode); - if (!error) + if (!error) { + path_put(&old_path); goto retry; + } } if (retry_estale(error, how)) { + path_put(&old_path); how |= LOOKUP_REVAL; goto retry; }
