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.
