Date: Mon, 9 Jun 2014 10:49:28 +0200 Message-Id: X-Mailer: git-send-email 1.9.3 In-Reply-To: References: In-Reply-To: References: Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org List-ID: X-Mailing-List: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org From: Leon Yu 3.12-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. =============== commit 754320d6e166d3a12cb4810a452bde00afbd4e9a upstream. iovec should be reclaimed whenever caller of rw_copy_check_uvector() returns, but it doesn't hold when failure happens right after aio_setup_vectored_rw(). Fix that in a such way to avoid hairy goto.
