Subject: [PATCH] lib/test_hmm: fix memory leak in dmirror_migrate_to_system()
Date: Thu, 28 May 2026 09:13:36 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260528011336.20797-1-hao.ge@linux.dev> (raw)

Move the kvcalloc() calls after the early return checks to avoid
leaking src_pfns and dst_pfns when end < start or mmget_not_zero()
fails.

Fixes: 775465fd26a3 ("lib/test_hmm: add zone device private THP test infrastructure")
Reported-by: Sashiko <sashiko-bot@kernel.org>
Signed-off-by: Hao Ge <hao.ge@linux.dev>

Sashiko report: https://sashiko.dev/#/patchset/20260513082525.154036-1-hao.ge@linux.dev

It looks like the other issue reported by Sashiko (dmirror_devmem_fault()
leaking args.src/args.dst on migrate_vma_setup() failure) may have already
been addressed in mm-new by 84808b0e9f75 ("lib/test_hmm: fix error path in
dmirror_devmem_fault()").
