[Ocfs2-devel] freeing memory allocated in security_inode_init_security()

Hi,
Although it isn't documented in security.c, the LSM
security_inode_init_security() hook allocates memory for xattr name and
value, expecting the caller to release the memory afterwards.
I'm making my way through the different filesystems adding a subsequent
call to evm_inode_post_init_security(). I see the call to
ocfs2_init_security_and_acl() calls ocfs2_init_security_get(), which in
turn calls security_inode_init_security(), but am having a hard time
finding where the name and value are subsequently freed. Would
appreciate if someone could point it out.
thanks,
Mimi
