From 85816794240b9659e66e4d9b0df7c6e814e5f603 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jan Kara Date: Tue, 28 Jan 2014 21:38:06 +0100 Subject: fanotify: Fix use after free for permission events Currently struct fanotify_event_info has been destroyed immediately after reporting its contents to userspace. However that is wrong for permission events because those need to stay around until userspace provides response which is filled back in fanotify_event_info. So change to code to free permission events only after we have got the response from userspace.
