Subject: [PATCH v6 04/14] arm64: kexec_file: Fix CMA page leaks in segment placement retry loops
Date: Mon, 21 Sep 2026 17:04:40 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260921090450.807575-5-ruanjinjie@huawei.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260921090450.807575-1-ruanjinjie@huawei.com>
During kexec image placement retry loops, any midway failure causes
the loader to truncate `image->nr_segments` back to its initial state
to purge the failed segments.
However, this truncation introduces a memory leak. The CMA pages
allocated via kexec_add_buffer() during the failed attempt are tracked
in the `image->segment_cma` array. Because the subsequent cleanup paths
only iterate up to the truncated `nr_segments` boundary, these allocated
CMA pages outside the new boundary are permanently leaked.
Fix this by explicitly releasing the associated CMA buffers in
the failure paths before `image->nr_segments` is reduced.
