Subject: [COMMITTED 2.32] Fix use of __pthread_attr_copy in mq_notify (bug 27896)
Date: Thu, 10 Jun 2021 13:10:37 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20210610131035.GB86427@aloka.lostca.se> (raw)

__pthread_attr_copy can fail and does not initialize the attribute
structure in that case.

If __pthread_attr_copy is never called and there is no allocated
attribute, pthread_attr_destroy should not be called, otherwise
there is a null pointer dereference in rt/tst-mqueue6.

Fixes commit 42d359350510506b87101cf77202fefcbfc790cb
("Use __pthread_attr_copy in mq_notify (bug 27896)").

(cherry picked from commit 217b6dc298156bdb0d6aea9ea93e7e394a5ff091)
