[PATCH] powerpc/mpic: Fix memory leak of mpic on error paths

[PATCH] powerpc/mpic: Fix memory leak of mpic on error paths

[Jyoti Gupta]

mpic_alloc() allocates struct mpic (and optionally the protected
sources bitmap) but does not free them when mpic_setup_error_int() or
irq_domain_create_linear() fails, leaking the memory.

Initialise mpic to NULL and free the bitmap and the mpic in the common
error path before dropping the device node reference. The register
mappings are not released here.

We don't need this initialization. We initialize it later again.

I see a couple of problems with this patch:

1. The patch does not apply.  Both "git apply" and "git am" fail on this patch.
   I think the context lines around the irq_domain_create_linear() call have
   tabs converted to spaces, which causes the context match to fail.

      ❯ git apply ./20260924_jyoti_powerpc_mpic_fix_memory_leak_of_mpic_on_error_paths.mbx --check --verbose
      Checking patch arch/powerpc/sysdev/mpic.c...
      error: while searching for:
      						 intvec_top,
      						 &mpic_host_ops, mpic);

      	/*
      	 * FIXME: The code leaks the MPIC object and mappings here; this
      	 * is very unlikely to fail but it ought to be fixed anyways.
      	 */
      	if (mpic->irqhost == NULL)
      		goto err_of_node_put;


      error: patch failed: arch/powerpc/sysdev/mpic.c:1488
      error: arch/powerpc/sysdev/mpic.c: patch does not apply

   Please regenerate with:

     git format-patch -1

   and verify with:

     git apply --check <patch>

   before resending.

2. The mpic_setup_error_int() leak is not actually fixed.  The commit message
   says both mpic_setup_error_int() and irq_domain_create_linear() failure paths
   are fixed, but the former still does a bare return NULL:

     if (fsl_version >= 0x401) {
         ret = mpic_setup_error_int(mpic, intvec_top - 13);
         if (ret)
             return NULL;   /* <-- still leaks mpic and mpic->protected */
     }

   This needs to become:

         if (ret)
             goto err_of_node_put;

Thanks,
Amit

Noted.I will regenerate with git format-patch -1 and verify with git 
apply --check
before resending as v2.

The mpic_setup_error_int() leak is intentionally left to a separate 
patch already under
  review:
"[PATCH] powerpc: Fix missing of_node_put() calls"
That patch converts the return NULL at line 1392 to goto err_of_node_put 
as part of a
broader of_node_put() fix series. This patch focuses only on the 
irq_domain_create_linear()
failure path.

Hi Jyoti,

For some reason, you response to this thread is not appearing on the list.  I
think you mail client is messing up the "In-Reply-To" information in the
header.  Fix look into fixing it.

For now, I'll qoute your reply here with my further response.

If that's the case, you shouldn't have mentioned about this change in the commit
log of this patch.  The commit log needs to be updated accordingly if that's
what your intent is.

I could only find below:

https://lore.kernel.org/all/5cef10ab1610113fe162cec1dffd97f3@linux.ibm.com/

Sorry, but I don't think thats the right way to send a patch.  You seem to have
replied to the email which did not land into the mailing lists at all.  Having
said that, I think fixing this particular path in mpic_alloc() would make more
sense in the current patch itself.

Please look into fixing your mail client and send the patches/responses in
proper format.

Thanks,
Amit.

Hello Amit ,

I'm not sure why my reply did not reach the list,but it is visible at 
the link below:

let me know if this looks fine.

Agree,I'llfix it in v2.

Yes, I made a mistake earlier by not keeping 
linuxppc-dev@lists.ozlabs.org
in the loop. I later replied to all with the list included, but I 
understand
that was not the right way to do it. I'll resend the patch as a fresh 
thread
in the proper format.

sure we can do that too.
