[PATCH v2] virt: vbox: fix memory leak in hgcm_call_preprocess_linaddr
From: Navid Emamdoost
Date: Mon Sep 30 2019 - 16:42:41 EST
In hgcm_call_preprocess_linaddr memory is allocated for bounce_buf but
is not released if copy_form_user fails. In order to prevent memory leak
in case of failure, the assignment to bounce_buf_ret is moved before the
error check. This way the allocated bounce_buf will be released by the
caller.
Fixes: 579db9d45cb4 ("virt: Add vboxguest VMMDEV communication code")
