This patch is based on a discussion generated by an earlier patch from Tetsuo Handa: * https://marc.info/?t=149035659300001&r=1&w=2 The double free problem involves the mnt_opts field of the security_mnt_opts struct, selinux_parse_opts_str() frees the memory on error, but doesn't set the field to NULL so if the caller later attempts to call security_free_mnt_opts() we trigger the problem. In order to play it safe we change selinux_parse_opts_str() to call security_free_mnt_opts() on error instead of free'ing the memory directly. This should ensure that everything is handled correctly, regardless of what the caller may do.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
