Subject: [patch 16/55] kprobes: fix a memory leak in function pre_handler_kretprobe()
Date: Fri, 10 Feb 2012 14:33:20 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20120210223441.738916124@clark.kroah.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20120210223500.GA24178@kroah.com>

3.0-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Jiang Liu <liuj97@gmail.com>

commit 55ca6140e9bb307efc97a9301a4f501de02a6fd6 upstream.

In function pre_handler_kretprobe(), the allocated kretprobe_instance
object will get leaked if the entry_handler callback returns non-zero.
This may cause all the preallocated kretprobe_instance objects exhausted.

This issue can be reproduced by changing
samples/kprobes/kretprobe_example.c to probe "mutex_unlock".  And the fix
is straightforward: just put the allocated kretprobe_instance object back
onto the free_instances list.

[akpm@linux-foundation.org: use raw_spin_lock/unlock]
