Description

Fix path buffer leaks in the DFS v2 utimensat() implementation.

Root cause

link_fn was allocated before validating the path and before several early returns, so those error paths leaked the buffer. In addition, the path returned by dfs_dentry_full_path() for a relative path was not retained separately and was never released; it could also be overwritten while resolving a symbolic link.

Changes

  • Allocate the symbolic-link buffer only when a link must be followed.
  • Keep ownership of the dynamically generated relative path in a separate pointer.
  • Route post-allocation error paths through common cleanup.
  • Return an allocation error when the symbolic-link buffer cannot be allocated.

Impact

Prevents heap growth from failed or repeated utimensat() calls while preserving the existing path and timestamp handling behavior.

Validation

  • git diff --check
  • Built bsp/qemu-vexpress-a9 successfully with scons -j4; this configuration compiles DFS v2 and the modified dfs_posix.c.

Fixes #11605
