Subject: [PATCH bpf 1/1] bpf: test_run: fix ctx leak in bpf_prog_test_run_xdp error path
Date: Tue, 14 Oct 2025 17:30:37 +0530	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251014120037.1981316-1-shardulsb08@gmail.com> (raw)

Fix a memory leak in bpf_prog_test_run_xdp() where the context buffer
allocated by bpf_ctx_init() is not freed when the function returns early
due to a data size check.

On the failing path:
  ctx = bpf_ctx_init(...);
  if (kattr->test.data_size_in - meta_sz < ETH_HLEN)
      return -EINVAL;

The early return bypasses the cleanup label that kfree()s ctx, leading to a
leak detectable by kmemleak under fuzzing. Change the return to jump to the
existing free_ctx label.

Fixes: fe9544ed1a2e ("bpf: Support specifying linear xdp packet data size for BPF_PROG_TEST_RUN")
