From: Mark Langsdorf <mlangsdo@redhat.com> mainline inclusion from mainline-v5.13-rc1 commit e483bb9a991bdae29a0caa4b3a6d002c968f94aa category: bugfix bugzilla: https://gitee.com/openeuler/kernel/issues/I5LBE7 CVE: NA -------------------------------- In cm_write(), buf is always freed when reaching the end of the function. If the requested count is less than table.length, the allocated buffer will be freed but subsequent calls to cm_write() will still try to access it. Remove the unconditional kfree(buf) at the end of the function and set the buf to NULL in the -EINVAL error path to match the rest of function.
