commit 08b0c891605acf727e43e3e03a25857d3e789b61 upstream.
We recently added a kfree() after the end of the loop:
if (retries == RETRIES) {
kfree(reply);
return -EINVAL;
}
There are two problems. First the test is wrong and because retries
equals RETRIES if we succeed on the last iteration through the loop.
Second if we fail on the last iteration through the loop then the kfree
is a double free.
When you're reading this code, please note the break statement at the
end of the while loop. This patch changes the loop so that if it's not
successful then "reply" is NULL and we can test for that afterward.

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.
