Subject: [PATCH v4 2/2] x86/mce/amd: Fix memory leak when `threshold_create_bank()` fails
Date: Tue, 1 Mar 2022 16:46:08 +0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20220301094608.118879-3-ammarfaizi2@gnuweeb.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20220301094608.118879-1-ammarfaizi2@gnuweeb.org>
From: Ammar Faizi <ammarfaizi2@gnuweeb.org>
@bp is a local variable, calling mce_threshold_remove_device() when
threshold_create_bank() fails will not free the @bp. Note that
mce_threshold_remove_device() frees the @bp only if it's already
stored in the @threshold_banks per-CPU variable.
At that point, the @threshold_banks per-CPU variable is still NULL,
so the mce_threshold_remove_device() will just be a no-op and the
@bp is leaked.
Fix this by storing @bp to @threshold_banks before the loop, so in
case we fail, mce_threshold_remove_device() will free the @bp.
This bug is introduced by commit 6458de97fc15530b544 ("x86/mce/amd:
Straighten CPU hotplug path") [1].
Link: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20200403161943.1458-6-bp@alien8.de [1]
v4:
- Add the link to the commit reference again.
v3:
- Fold in changes from Alviro, the previous version is still
leaking @bank[n].
v2:
- No changes.
