Subject: [PATCH] lib/idr: fix memory leak in ida_alloc_range() error path
Date: Thu, 12 Mar 2026 17:18:34 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260312171834.8837-1-objecting@objecting.org> (raw)
In ida_alloc_range(), if the XArray operation encounters an error
(e.g., -ENOSPC) during allocation, the function exits early via
return xas_error(&xas). However, if an intermediate `alloc` bitmap
was allocated via kzalloc() earlier in the function but the XArray
insertion failed, the error path returns without freeing `alloc`.
Reorder the error handling to ensure `alloc` is properly freed when
an XArray error occurs.
