Subject: [PATCH] virtio_ring: Fix mem leak with vring_new_virtqueue()
Date: Mon, 24 Feb 2020 15:26:43 -0600 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20200224212643.30672-1-s-anna@ti.com> (raw)
The functions vring_new_virtqueue() and __vring_new_virtqueue() are used
with split rings, and any allocations within these functions are managed
outside of the .we_own_ring flag. The commit cbeedb72b97a ("virtio_ring:
allocate desc state for split ring separately") allocates the desc state
within the __vring_new_virtqueue() but frees it only when the .we_own_ring
flag is set. This leads to a memory leak when freeing such allocated
virtqueues with the vring_del_virtqueue() function.
Fix this by moving the desc_state free code outside the flag and only
for split rings. Issue was discovered during testing with remoteproc
and virtio_rpmsg.
Fixes: cbeedb72b97a ("virtio_ring: allocate desc state for split ring separately")
