Re: [PATCH next] audit: fix potential double free on error path from fsnotify_add_inode_mark

Audit_alloc_mark() assign pathname to audit_mark->path, on error path from fsnotify_add_inode_mark(), fsnotify_put_mark will free memory of audit_mark->path, but the caller of audit_alloc_mark will free the pathname again, so there will be double free problem. Fix this by resetting audit_mark->path to NULL pointer on error path from fsnotify_add_inode_mark(). Fixes: 7b1293234084d ("fsnotify: Add group pointer in fsnotify_init_mark()") Signed-off-by: Gaosheng Cui <cuigaosheng1(a)huawei.com&gt;
