From 1d9e689c934bd5ecb0f273c6c65e0655c5cfee5f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Gianluca Anzolin Date: Thu, 25 Jul 2013 07:26:16 +0200 Subject: tty_port: Fix refcounting leak in tty_port_tty_hangup() The function tty_port_tty_hangup() could leak a reference to the tty_struct: struct tty_struct *tty = tty_port_tty_get(port); if (tty && (!check_clocal || !C_CLOCAL(tty))) { tty_hangup(tty); tty_kref_put(tty); } If tty != NULL and the second condition is false we never call tty_kref_put and the reference is leaked. Fix by always calling tty_kref_put() which accepts a NULL argument. The patch fixes a regression introduced by commit aa27a094.
