Subject: [PATCH v3] mm/migrate_device: fix pgtable leak in migrate_vma_insert_huge_pmd_page
Date: Fri,  1 May 2026 17:21:16 +0530	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260501115122.23288-1-nueralspacetech@gmail.com> (raw)

When migrate_vma_insert_huge_pmd_page() jumps to unlock_abort due
to a PMD check failure, the pgtable allocated earlier via
pte_alloc_one() is never freed, causing a memory leak.

Added free_abort label to release the pgtable in error path.

Signed-off-by: Sunny Patel <nueralspacetech@gmail.com>

Changes in v3:
	- Added free_abort label as suggested to release the pgtable 
	in error path.
	- v2 had the pte_free() call in both error paths, this 
	version has a single goto target for both paths to avoid code duplication.
