This is a note to let you know that I have just added a patch titled efi: Fix error handling in add_sysfs_runtime_map_entry() to the linux-3.16.y-queue branch of the 3.16.y-ckt extended stable tree which can be found at: http://kernel.ubuntu.com/git/ubuntu/linux.git/log/?h=linux-3.16.y-queue This patch is scheduled to be released in version 3.16.7-ckt12. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to this tree, please reply to this email. For more information about the 3.16.y-ckt tree, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/Dev/ExtendedStable Thanks. -Luis ------ From adba19f31cfd4ba537fbc6e7d828abe37744dbe2 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Dan Carpenter <dan.carpenter@oracle.com> Date: Tue, 21 Apr 2015 16:46:28 +0300 Subject: efi: Fix error handling in add_sysfs_runtime_map_entry() commit d67e199611b986b345ea3087ee2e4a15da1c98b3 upstream. I spotted two (difficult to hit) bugs while reviewing this. 1) There is a double free bug because we unregister "map_kset" in add_sysfs_runtime_map_entry() and also efi_runtime_map_init(). 2) If we fail to allocate "entry" then we should return ERR_PTR(-ENOMEM) instead of NULL.
