[ 095/149] UBI: fix error handling in ubi_scan()

From: Greg KH
Date: Fri Mar 30 2012 - 18:16:02 EST


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

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

From: Richard Weinberger <richard@xxxxxx>

commit a29852be492d61001d86c6ebf5fff9b93d7b4be9 upstream.

Two bad things can happen in ubi_scan():
1. If kmem_cache_create() fails we jump to out_si and call
ubi_scan_destroy_si() which calls kmem_cache_destroy().
But si->scan_leb_slab is NULL.
2. If process_eb() fails we jump to out_vidh, call
kmem_cache_destroy() and ubi_scan_destroy_si() which calls
again kmem_cache_destroy().
