Inject fault while loading module, kset_register() may fail, if it fails, but the refcount of kobject is not decreased to 0, the name allocated in kobject_set_name() is leaked. Fix this by calling kset_put(), so that name can be freed in callback function kobject_cleanup(). unreferenced object 0xffff888101d228c0 (size 8): comm "modprobe", pid 276, jiffies 4294722700 (age 13.151s) hex dump (first 8 bytes): 65 72 6f 66 73 00 ff ff erofs... backtrace: [<00000000e2a9a4a6>] __kmalloc_node_track_caller+0x44/0x1b0 [<00000000b8ce02de>] kstrdup+0x3a/0x70 [<000000004a0e01d2>] kstrdup_const+0x63/0x80 [<00000000051b6cda>] kvasprintf_const+0x149/0x180 [<000000004dc51dad>] kobject_set_name_vargs+0x56/0x150 [<00000000b30f0bad>] kobject_set_name+0xab/0xe0 Fixes: 168e9a76200c ("erofs: add sysfs interface") Signed-off-by: Yang Yingliang <yangyingliang@xxxxxxxxxx> --- fs/erofs/sysfs.c | 4 +++- 1 file changed, 3 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/fs/erofs/sysfs.c b/fs/erofs/sysfs.c index 783bb7b21b51..653b35001bc5 100644 --- a/fs/erofs/sysfs.c +++ b/fs/erofs/sysfs.c @@ -254,8 +254,10 @@ int __init erofs_init_sysfs(void) kobject_set_name(&erofs_root.kobj, "erofs"); erofs_root.kobj.parent = fs_kobj; ret = kset_register(&erofs_root); - if (ret) + if (ret) { + kset_put(&erofs_root); goto root_err; + } ret = kobject_init_and_add(&erofs_feat, &erofs_feat_ktype, NULL, "features"); -- 2.25.1
