Subject: 2.4.25 MD RAID 1 driver - memory leak?
Date: Tue, 23 Mar 2004 16:14:37 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <4060C4DD.2070506@mvista.com> (raw)

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 466 bytes --]

If I'm reading things correctly I believe there is a memory leak in the 
RAID 1 driver. A patch is attached for the fix.

The end_sync_read function forwards the read operation (r1_bh) that 
completed by the raid1_reschedule_retry function. The r1_bh->cmd value 
is SPECIAL. If the R1BH_Uptodate bit is not set a message is printed and 
md_done_sync is called - but raid1_free_buf is not called. Look a few 
lines above at the "!sum_bhs" case for comparison.
