In virtio_fs_get_tree, fm is allocated by kzalloc() and
assigned to fsc->s_fs_info by fsc->s_fs_info=fm statement.
If the kzalloc() failed, it will goto err directly, so that
fsc->s_fs_info must be non-NULL and fm will be freed.
But later fm is freed again when virtio_fs_fill_super() fialed.
I think the statement if (fsc->s_fs_info) {kfree(fm);} is
misplaced.
My patch puts this statement in the correct palce to avoid
double free.

Right, I follow this so far.

But this I don't follow in the context of the stuff that happens in out_err.

I'm not sure this can double free, because:
* If fm = kzalloc[..] fails, the function bails early.
* If sget_fc() fails, the function cleans up fm and fc and bails early.
* If sget_fc() succeeds and allocated a new superblock, fc->s_fs_info
pointer is moved to sb->s_fs_info and fc->s_fs_info is set to NULL, so
the first free hasn't happened yet.
* If sget_fc() succeeds and somehow returns an existing superblock
(which I think is tested by checking if fc->s_fs_info is not NULL, since
otherwise it'd have been moved to the superblock and set to NULL in
sget_fc), I think sb->s_root would not be NULL, therefore the flow of
control wouldn't enter the if-block where virtio_fs_fill_super could
fail which means the code won't reach the double free.
That's just my reading of it though, and I'm wondering if that makes
sense to others :-)

By removing the check from here, it now looks like if sget_fc() fails,
then this early return will leak fm's memory and fc's reference.

sget_fc() will either consume fsc->s_fs_info in case a new super
block is allocated and set fsc->s_fs_info. In that case we don't
free fc or fm.
Or, sget_fc() will return with fsc->s_fs_info set in case we already
found a super block. In that case we need to free fc and fm.
In case of error from sget_fc(), fc/fm need to be freed first and
then error needs to be returned to caller.
if (IS_ERR(sb))
return PTR_ERR(sb);
If we allocated a new super block in sget_fc(), then next step is
to initialize it.
if (!sb->s_root) {
err = virtio_fs_fill_super(sb, fsc);
}
If we run into errors here, then fc/fm need to be freed.
So current code looks fine to me.

Ok, thanks.
It should be a false positive.
