Subject: [PATCH] ecryptfs: fix a memory leak bug
Date:   Tue, 20 Aug 2019 00:33:54 -0500
Message-Id: <1566279234-9634-1-git-send-email-wenwen@cs.uga.edu>
Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org
Precedence: bulk

In ecryptfs_init_messaging(), if the allocation for 'ecryptfs_msg_ctx_arr'
fails, the previously allocated 'ecryptfs_daemon_hash' is not deallocated,
leading to a memory leak bug. To fix this issue, free
'ecryptfs_daemon_hash' before returning the error.
