Subject: [PATCH v2 1/3] tracing/remotes: Fix leak in trace_remote_alloc_buffer() error path
Date: Thu, 9 Jul 2026 17:00:15 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260709160017.1729517-2-vdonnefort@google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260709160017.1729517-1-vdonnefort@google.com>
If page allocation fails in trace_remote_alloc_buffer(), desc->nr_cpus
is not yet incremented for the current CPU. As a consequence, on error,
half-allocated rb_desc will not be freed in trace_remote_free_buffer().
Increment desc->nr_cpus as soon as the first allocation for the current
CPU has succeeded.
Fixes: 96e43537af54 ("tracing: Introduce trace remotes")
