SubjectRe: [PATCH 1/9] um/drivers/vector_user: Delete unnecessary code in user_init_raw_fds()
From
Date

It still does not fix it completely though.

Re-reading the code it will leak a fd if the malloc for result fails.
That return result; there should be inside the conditional falling back
to cleanup if the alloc fails.
