From 40a8f0d5e7b3999f096570edab71c345da812e3e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Zhihao Cheng chengzhihao1@huawei.com Date: Mon, 27 Dec 2021 11:22:32 +0800 Subject: [PATCH] ubifs: rename_whiteout: Fix double free for whiteout_ui->data
'whiteout_ui->data' will be freed twice if space budget fail for rename whiteout operation as following process:
rename_whiteout dev = kmalloc whiteout_ui->data = dev kfree(whiteout_ui->data) // Free first time iput(whiteout) ubifs_free_inode kfree(ui->data) // Double free!

Let ubifs_free_inode() free 'whiteout_ui->data'. BTW, delete unused assignment 'whiteout_ui->data_len = 0', process 'ubifs_evict_inode() -> ubifs_jnl_delete_inode() -> ubifs_jnl_write_inode()' doesn't need it (because 'inc_nlink(whiteout)' won't be excuted by 'goto out_release', and the nlink of whiteout inode is 0).
