Subject: [PATCH resend] 9p: fix a potential acl leak
Date: Thu,  9 Feb 2017 14:12:12 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1486678332-2430-1-git-send-email-xiyou.wangcong@gmail.com> (raw)

posix_acl_update_mode() could possibly clear 'acl', if so
we leak the memory pointed by 'acl'. Save this pointer
before calling posix_acl_update_mode() and release the memory
if 'acl' really gets cleared.
