From 20ca9b3f4c6dfa0af8dd5b18a64df17eb994b54d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Li Zefan Date: Tue, 23 Dec 2008 13:57:14 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] cgroups: avoid accessing uninitialized data in failure path If cgroup_get_rootdir() failed, free_cg_links() will be called in the failure path, but tmp_cg_links hasn't been initialized at that time. I introduced this bug in the 2.6.27 merge window.
