Re: [PATCH] kernel: auditfilter: looping issue, memory leak if has2 or more AUDIT_FILTERKEYs

From: Chen Gang
Date: Wed Apr 10 2013 - 06:28:57 EST



also for function audit_list:
when call audit_make_reply fails (will return NULL).
we need free all its related variables instead of only kfree rull.
(such as call autit_free_rule)

please help check, thanks.
