You mean, a leak of the memory allocated for new_fl? That's freed at
the exit labeled with "out". It's the only exit:
out:
unlock_kernel();
if (new_fl)
locks_free_lock(new_fl);
return error;
And new_fl is initially NULL, assigned only once by the allocation, then
assigned to NULL only at the very end when we know we've succeeded.
Am I missing something else?
