From 3881b164810a564714dfdc16520b0fe538ae4bf7 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: David Howells Date: Mon, 27 Jul 2015 15:23:43 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] KEYS: ensure we free the assoc array edit if edit is valid __key_link_end is not freeing the associated array edit structure and this leads to a 512 byte memory leak each time an identical existing key is added with add_key(). The reason the add_key() system call returns okay is that key_create_or_update() calls __key_link_begin() before checking to see whether it can update a key directly rather than adding/replacing - which it turns out it can. Thus __key_link() is not called through __key_instantiate_and_link() and __key_link_end() must cancel the edit.
