Subject: [PATCH v2 1/7] s390/vfio_ccw: free all memory if cp_init() fails
Date: Mon, 20 Jul 2026 22:19:25 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260720201931.976660-2-farman@linux.ibm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260720201931.976660-1-farman@linux.ibm.com>

The routine cp_free() is called to unpin/free any memory once an I/O
is completed successfully, or if cp_prefetch() fails. But if cp_init()
fails, and cp->initialized is not enabled, the same routine cannot be
used to free all the memory.

An attempt to address this exists in ccwchain_handle_ccw(), where a
single call to ccwchain_free() is made for the currently-processed
CCW segment. But this will leak other segments (created as a result
of a Transfer in Channel) that had been allocated as part of the same
channel program.

Address this by performing the cleanup outside of the recursive
ccwchain_handle_ccw()/ccwchain_loop_tic() logic.

Fixes: 8b515be512a2 ("vfio-ccw: Fix memory leak and don't call cp_free in cp_init")
