Subject: [PATCH 5.8 083/124] pipe: Fix memory leaks in create_pipe_files()

From: Qian Cai <cai@...hat.com>

[ Upstream commit 8a018eb55e3ac033592afbcb476b0ffe64465b12 ]

        Calling pipe2() with O_NOTIFICATION_PIPE could results in memory
leaks unless watch_queue_init() is successful.

        In case of watch_queue_init() failure in pipe2() we are left
with inode and pipe_inode_info instances that need to be freed.  That
failure exit has been introduced in commit c73be61cede5 ("pipe: Add
general notification queue support") and its handling should've been
identical to nearby treatment of alloc_file_pseudo() failures - it
is dealing with the same situation.  As it is, the mainline kernel
leaks in that case.

        Another problem is that CONFIG_WATCH_QUEUE and !CONFIG_WATCH_QUEUE
cases are treated differently (and the former leaks just pipe_inode_info,
the latter - both pipe_inode_info and inode).

        Fixed by providing a dummy wacth_queue_init() in !CONFIG_WATCH_QUEUE
case and by having failures of wacth_queue_init() handled the same way
we handle alloc_file_pseudo() ones.

Fixes: c73be61cede5 ("pipe: Add general notification queue support")
