Date: Tue, 13 Dec 2011 12:51:23 -0000 From: Chuck Lever X-Patchwork-Id: 131203 Message-Id: <20111213225122.15402.42204.stgit@degas.1015granger.net> To: fedfs-utils-devel@oss.oracle.com From: Jim Meyering even though upon error it will not be used. * src/fedfsd/svc.c (fedfsd_pathwalk): On an error path, don't set *pathname at all, and certainly not to a just-freed pointer. Spotted by coverity. Introduced by commit 0520ee72: "Initial commit," (March 29, 2011).
