From 26379198937fcc9bbe7be76be695d06df8334eaa Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Eric Paris Date: Tue, 23 Nov 2010 23:48:26 -0500 Subject: fanotify: do not leak user reference on allocation failure If fanotify_init is unable to allocate a new fsnotify group it will return but will not drop its reference on the associated user struct. Drop that reference on error.
