[PATCH 4.11 47/84] x86/intel_rdt: Fix memory leak on mount failure

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Mon Jul 03 2017 - 09:59:36 EST


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

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

From: Vikas Shivappa <vikas.shivappa@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

commit 79298acc4ba097e9ab78644e3e38902d73547c92 upstream.

If mount fails, the kn_info directory is not freed causing memory leak.

Add the missing error handling path.

Fixes: 4e978d06dedb ("x86/intel_rdt: Add "info" files to resctrl file system")
