[PATCH] cifs: fix memory leak of an allocated cifs_ntsd structure

From: Colin King
Date: Mon Jan 07 2019 - 12:15:21 EST


From: Colin Ian King <colin.king@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

The call to SMB2_queary_acl can allocate memory to pntsd and also
return a failure via a call to SMB2_query_acl (and then query_info).
This occurs when query_info allocates the structure and then in
query_info the call to smb2_validate_and_copy_iov fails. Currently the
failure just returns without kfree'ing pntsd hence causing a memory
leak. Fix this by kfree'ing pntsd before returning.

Detected by CoverityScan, CID#1457059 ("Resource Leak")

Fixes: 2f1afe25997f ("cifs: Use smb 2 - 3 and cifsacl mount options getacl functions")
