Subject: [xfsprogs] mkfs: fixup memory leak on exit
Date: Tue, 6 Oct 2026 12:12:33 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261006101232.357124-2-wilfred.opensource@gmail.com> (raw)
From: Wilfred Mallawa <wilfred.mallawa@wdc.com>
When running mkfs.xfs with addrsan enabled, the following is reported:
```
==27832==ERROR: LeakSanitizer: detected memory leaks
Direct leak of 9 byte(s) in 1 object(s) allocated from:
#0 0x7fe6db2e8ac4 in strdup (/lib64/libasan.so.8+0xe8ac4) (BuildId: 5395ec74f54d9ec7bf97c06583dd39a96c230822)
#1 0x0000004175ce in getstr <blah>/mkfs/xfs_mkfs.c:1767
SUMMARY: AddressSanitizer: 9 byte(s) leaked in 1 allocation(s).
```
Thus, gracefully clean up these string allocation on exit to address the above.
