Date: Mon, 28 Sep 2026 17:44:38 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260928174439.0ACEB1F000FF@smtp.kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260928-b4-fix-aer-memleaks-v5-3-ba6b94c9c9a6@google.com>
> ghes_handle_aer() allocates the AER register snapshot that it passes to
> aer_recover_queue() from ghes_estatus_pool. aer_recover_queue() returns
> void, so the caller cannot tell whether the record was queued, and the
> AER code owns the buffer from then on and must free it on every path.
>
> None of this is documented at the definition of this exported function.
> With GHES enabled, a new caller that passed a buffer from any other
> allocator would hit the BUG() in gen_pool_free_owner() when the AER code
> returns the buffer to ghes_estatus_pool, and a caller that freed the
> buffer itself would cause a double free.
>
> Add a kernel-doc comment that describes the parameters and states that
> aer_recover_queue() takes ownership of @aer_regs, which must have been
> allocated from ghes_estatus_pool.
>
> No functional change.
