Subject: [PATCH net] dibs: fix double free of dmb_clientid_arr
Date: Thu, 30 Jul 2026 09:56:24 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260730075624.114778-1-hidayath@linux.ibm.com> (raw)
dibs_dev_add() frees dibs->dmb_clientid_arr on both of its failure
paths, but does not clear the pointer. dibs_lo_dev_probe() then frees
the same pointer again in its err_reg path, so a failing device_add()
or sysfs_create_group() results in a double free.
Drop the kfree() from dibs_lo_dev_probe().
Note: commit cc21191b584c ("dibs: Move data path to dibs layer") moved
the code to its current location; the race was introduced earlier by
commit c3a910f2380f ("net/smc: implement DMB-merged operations of
loopback-ism").
Fixes: c3a910f2380f ("net/smc: implement DMB-merged operations of loopback-ism")
