[PATCH] cgroup/cpuset: Fix a memory leak in update_exclusive_cpumask()

From: Waiman Long
Date: Tue Feb 27 2024 - 19:58:29 EST


Fix a possible memory leak in update_exclusive_cpumask() by moving the
alloc_cpumasks() down after the validate_change() check which can fail
and still before the temporary cpumasks are needed.

Fixes: e2ffe502ba45 ("cgroup/cpuset: Add cpuset.cpus.exclusive for v2")
Reported-by: Mirsad Todorovac <mirsad.todorovac@xxxxxx>
Closes: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/14915689-27a3-4cd8-80d2-9c30d0c768b6@xxxxxxxxxxxx
