Subject: [PATCH] ACPI/IORT: Fix memory leak in iort_rmr_alloc_sids()
Date: Thu, 28 Aug 2025 19:22:43 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250828112243.61460-1-linmq006@gmail.com> (raw)
If krealloc_array() fails in iort_rmr_alloc_sids(), the function returns
NULL but does not free the original 'sids' allocation. This results in a
memory leak since the caller overwrites the original pointer with the
NULL return value.
Fixes: 491cf4a6735a ("ACPI/IORT: Add support to retrieve IORT RMR reserved regions")
Cc: <stable@vger.kernel.org>

This follows the same pattern as the fix in commit 06615967d488
("bpf, verifier: Fix memory leak in array reallocation for stack state").
