Subject: [PATCH 5/5] mm/execmem: use cleanup infrastructure in ROX cache functions
Date: Thu, 03 Sep 2026 18:50:02 +0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260903-execmem-rox-cache-pmd-v1-v1-5-11beb2a3d249@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260903-execmem-rox-cache-pmd-v1-v1-0-11beb2a3d249@kernel.org>
After splitting out execmem_alloc_rox() from
execmem_cache_populate_alloc(), the error paths of both functions became
less complex and can be easily switched to use the cleanup infrastructure.
Use __free(vfree) to free allocated memory on the error paths and
guard(mutex) for synchronization in ROX cache functions.
