[ 73/73] kernel/audit_tree.c: tree will leak memory when failure occurs in audit_trim_trees()

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Thu May 09 2013 - 18:27:36 EST


3.9-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Chen Gang <gang.chen@xxxxxxxxxxx>

commit 12b2f117f3bf738c1a00a6f64393f1953a740bd4 upstream.

audit_trim_trees() calls get_tree(). If a failure occurs we must call
put_tree().

[akpm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx: run put_tree() before mutex_lock() for small scalability improvement]
