[PATCH] fs/namespace.c:dup_namespace(): fix a use after free
The Coverity checker spotted the following bug in dup_namespace():
<-- snip -->
if (!new_ns->root) {
up_write(&namespace_sem);
kfree(new_ns);
goto out;
}
...
out:
return new_ns;
<-- snip -->
Callers expect a non-NULL result to not be freed.
