Subject: [PATCH rdma-rc 1/2] RDMA/uverbs: Fix uobject leak in DMABUF release
Date: Thu, 15 Oct 2026 08:36:36 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261015083637.200958-2-deepshah146@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261015083637.200958-1-deepshah146@gmail.com>

uverbs_dmabuf_release() treats a NULL uobj->context as an aborted
allocation, but normal ufile cleanup also clears it. Closing the uverbs
FD before the dma-buf FD therefore skips uverbs_uobject_release() and
leaks the uobject and ufile references.

Clear dmabuf->priv before dma_buf_put() on allocation failure and use
that NULL pointer to identify an abort. Otherwise, always call
uverbs_uobject_release(). This also avoids reading a freed uobject if
release is deferred until after the allocation has been aborted.

Fixes: 0ac6f4056c4a ("RDMA/uverbs: Add DMABUF object type and operations")
