From d558023207e008a4476a3b7bb8706b2a2bf5d84f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Sasha Levin Date: Tue, 19 Nov 2013 17:33:02 -0500 Subject: aio: prevent double free in ioctx_alloc ioctx_alloc() calls aio_setup_ring() to allocate a ring. If aio_setup_ring() fails to do so it would call aio_free_ring() before returning, but ioctx_alloc() would call aio_free_ring() again causing a double free of the ring. This is easily reproducible from userspace.
