From 580c610429b3994e8db24418927747cf28443cde Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Miklos Szeredi <mszeredi@redhat.com> Date: Fri, 6 Aug 2021 10:03:12 +0200 Subject: ovl: fix uninitialized pointer read in ovl_lookup_real_one() One error path can result in release_dentry_name_snapshot() being called before "name" was initialized by take_dentry_name_snapshot(). Fix by moving the release_dentry_name_snapshot() to immediately after the only use.
