Subject: [PATCH v3 07/20] afs: use kvfree() to free memory allocated by kvcalloc()
Date: Thu, 18 Jun 2026 16:51:26 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260618155141.2513212-8-dhowells@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260618155141.2513212-1-dhowells@redhat.com>
From: Zilin Guan <zilin@seu.edu.cn>
op->more_files is allocated with kvcalloc() but released via
afs_put_operation(), which uses kfree() internally. This mismach prevents
the resource from being released properly and may lead to undefined
behavior.
Fix this by using kvfree() to free op->more_files to match its allocation
method.
Fixes: e49c7b2f6de7 ("afs: Build an abstraction around an "operation" concept")
