Date: Tue, 1 Feb 2011 16:44:39 -0800 (PST) From: Andi Kleen <andi@...stfloor.org> To: eparis@...hat.com, gregkh@...e.de, ak@...ux.intel.com, linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org, stable@...nel.org Subject: [PATCH] [82/139] inotify: stop kernel memory leak on file creation failure 2.6.35-longterm review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Eric Paris <eparis@...hat.com> commit a2ae4cc9a16e211c8a128ba10d22a85431f093ab upstream. If inotify_init is unable to allocate a new file for the new inotify group we leak the new group. This patch drops the reference on the group on file allocation failure.
