Subject: [PATCH] RDMA/uverbs: Fix radix tree node leak in uapi_add_elm()
Author: kartikey406@gmail.com
#syz test: git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git master
syzbot reported a memory leak of radix_tree_node objects allocated
while registering a siw device:
unreferenced object 0xffff88810d78f488 (size 576):
radix_tree_node_alloc+0x81/0x1a0 lib/radix-tree.c:276
radix_tree_insert+0x140/0x390 lib/radix-tree.c:712
uapi_add_elm+0x61/0x140 drivers/infiniband/core/uverbs_uapi.c:41
uverbs_alloc_api+0x85/0xc50 drivers/infiniband/core/uverbs_uapi.c:659
ib_uverbs_add_one+0x1b1/0x350 drivers/infiniband/core/uverbs_main.c:1196
ib_register_device+0x4fe/0x7f0 drivers/infiniband/core/device.c:1503
siw_newlink+0x36a/0x3f0 drivers/infiniband/sw/siw/siw_main.c:433
radix_tree_insert() can fail with -ENOMEM after __radix_tree_create()
has already linked intermediate nodes into the tree, leaving them with
no entries. uapi_add_elm() frees the element on failure, but nothing
frees these empty nodes: uverbs_destroy_api() only removes populated
slots, and radix tree nodes are freed only as a side effect of
deleting an entry. The nodes are therefore leaked when the uapi is
destroyed.
On -ENOMEM, populate the same key with a dummy entry and delete it
again so that radix_tree_delete() reclaims the empty node chain.
