Subject: usermodehelper: cleanup/fix __orderly_poweroff() && argv_free()
X-Git-Tag: firefly_0821_release~3680^2~999^2~152
X-Git-Url: http://demsky.eecs.uci.edu/git/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=7ff6764061ecd4a4ef91db7b8b30aacc6a8573c9;p=firefly-linux-kernel-4.4.55.git

usermodehelper: cleanup/fix __orderly_poweroff() && argv_free()

__orderly_poweroff() does argv_free() if call_usermodehelper_fns()
returns -ENOMEM.  As Lucas pointed out, this can be wrong if -ENOMEM was
not triggered by the failing call_usermodehelper_setup(), in this case
both __orderly_poweroff() and argv_cleanup() can do kfree().

Kill argv_cleanup() and change __orderly_poweroff() to call argv_free()
unconditionally like do_coredump() does.  This info->cleanup() is not
needed (and wrong) since 6c0c0d4d "fix bug in orderly_poweroff() which
did the UMH_NO_WAIT => UMH_WAIT_EXEC change, we can rely on the fact
that CLONE_VFORK can't return until do_execve() succeeds/fails.
