Subject: [PATCH 1/1] fix memory leak during adapter release by destroying gid_pn_req
Date: Mon, 20 Jul 2026 09:27:36 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260720072736.3381816-2-niharp@linux.ibm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260720072736.3381816-1-niharp@linux.ibm.com>
From: Benjamin Block <bblock@linux.ibm.com>
When releasing an adapter we don't free the mempool `gid_pn_req` that is
allocated during the enqueue. This leaks memory:
unreferenced object 0xd8d29297de700 (size 256):
comm "(udev-worker)", pid 2105, jiffies 4294945794
hex dump (first 32 bytes):

Fix this by destroying the mempool during the adapter's release.
