Subject: [PATCH 1/2] xhci: sideband: fix ring sg table pages leak
Date: Fri, 3 Jul 2026 17:40:32 +0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260703144033.483286-2-mathias.nyman@linux.intel.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260703144033.483286-1-mathias.nyman@linux.intel.com>
From: Xu Rao <raoxu@uniontech.com>
xhci_ring_to_sgtable() allocates a temporary pages array and
uses it to build the returned sg_table with
sg_alloc_table_from_pages().
The error paths free the pages array, but the success path
returns the sg_table without freeing it. This leaks the temporary
array every time a sideband client gets an endpoint or event ring
buffer.
Free the pages array after sg_alloc_table_from_pages() succeeds.
The returned sg_table has its own scatterlist entries and does not
depend on the temporary array after construction.
Fixes: de66754e9f80 ("xhci: sideband: add initial api to register a secondary interrupter entity")
