    x86/ldt: Plug memory leak in error path · a62d6985
    Thomas Gleixner authored
    The error path in write_ldt() tries to free 'old_ldt' instead of the newly
    allocated 'new_ldt', resulting in a memory leak. It also misses to clean up a
    half populated LDT pagetable, which is not a leak as it gets cleaned up
    when the process exits.
    
    Free both the potentially half populated LDT pagetable and the newly
    allocated LDT struct. This can be done unconditionally because once an LDT
    is mapped subsequent maps will succeed, because the PTE page is already
    populated and the two LDTs fit into that single page.
