Coverity caught double free possibility (CID 1130962).
I can patch this, but I have to know if is correct to free comp_opts in the function squashfs_decompressor_create() or it had to be done in the caller. My bet is the caller.
128void *squashfs_decompressor_setup(struct super_block *sb, unsigned short flags) 129{ 130 struct squashfs_sb_info *msblk = sb->s_fs_info; 131 void *stream, *comp_opts = get_comp_opts(sb, flags); 132
1. Condition "IS_ERR(comp_opts)", taking false branch 133 if (IS_ERR(comp_opts)) 134 return comp_opts; 135
2. freed_arg: "squashfs_decompressor_create(struct squashfs_sb_info *, void *)" frees "comp_opts".[show details] 136 stream = squashfs_decompressor_create(msblk, comp_opts);
3. Condition "IS_ERR(stream)", taking true branch 137 if (IS_ERR(stream))
CID 1130962 (#1 of 1): Double free (USE_AFTER_FREE)4. double_free: Calling "kfree(void const *)" frees pointer "comp_opts" which has already been freed. 138 kfree(comp_opts); 139 140 return stream; 141}
