From b1d7dd80aadb9042e83f9778b484a2f92e0b04d4 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: David Howells Date: Tue, 21 Jun 2011 14:32:05 +0100 Subject: KEYS: Fix error handling in construct_key_and_link() Fix error handling in construct_key_and_link(). If construct_alloc_key() returns an error, it shouldn't pass out through the normal path as the key_serial() called by the kleave() statement will oops when it gets an error code in the pointer: BUG: unable to handle kernel paging request at ffffffffffffff84 IP: [] request_key_and_link+0x4d7/0x52f ..
