Subject: [PATCH AUTOSEL 4.9 06/12] MIPS: VPE: Fix a double free and a memory leak in 'release_vpe()'
Date: Thu, 5 Mar 2020 12:15:53 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20200305171559.30422-6-sashal@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20200305171559.30422-1-sashal@kernel.org>
From: Christophe JAILLET <christophe.jaillet@wanadoo.fr>
[ Upstream commit bef8e2dfceed6daeb6ca3e8d33f9c9d43b926580 ]
Pointer on the memory allocated by 'alloc_progmem()' is stored in
'v->load_addr'. So this is this memory that should be freed by
'release_progmem()'.
'release_progmem()' is only a call to 'kfree()'.
With the current code, there is both a double free and a memory leak.
Fix it by passing the correct pointer to 'release_progmem()'.
Fixes: e01402b115ccc ("More AP / SP bits for the 34K, the Malta bits and things. Still wants")
