Subject: [PATCH] sched/ext: fix cpumask leak in scx_init() error path
Date: Thu, 9 Apr 2026 01:23:12 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260408172312.2178104-1-kobak@nvidia.com> (raw)
From: Koba Ko <kobak@nvidia.com>
In scx_init(), two cpumask allocations are combined with || short-circuit
evaluation. If the first alloc_cpumask_var (scx_bypass_lb_donee_cpumask)
succeeds but the second (scx_bypass_lb_resched_cpumask) fails, the first
cpumask is leaked.
Split the allocations into separate checks with per-allocation error
messages and free the first cpumask when the second allocation fails.
Fixes: 95d1df610cdc7 ("sched_ext: Implement load balancer for bypass mode")
