[PATCH 4.19 215/421] configfs: fix memleak in configfs_release_bin_file

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>
Date: 2021-07-19 16:17:44
Also in: lkml
Subsystem: configfs, filesystems (vfs and infrastructure), the rest · Maintainers: Andreas Hindborg, Alexander Viro, Christian Brauner, Linus Torvalds

From: Chung-Chiang Cheng <redacted>

[ Upstream commit 3c252b087de08d3cb32468b54a158bd7ad0ae2f7 ]

When reading binary attributes in progress, buffer->bin_buffer is setup in
configfs_read_bin_file() but never freed.

Fixes: 03607ace807b4 ("configfs: implement binary attributes")
