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 0xffff888100da9348 (size 8): comm "modprobe", pid 257, jiffies 4294701096 (age 33.334s) hex dump (first 8 bytes): 6c 6f 67 6d 61 73 6b 00 logmask. backtrace: [<00000000306e441c>] __kmalloc_node_track_caller+0x44/0x1b0 [<000000007c491a9e>] kstrdup+0x3a/0x70 [<0000000015719a3b>] kstrdup_const+0x63/0x80 [<0000000084e458ea>] kvasprintf_const+0x149/0x180 [<0000000091302b42>] kobject_set_name_vargs+0x56/0x150 [<000000005f48eeac>] kobject_set_name+0xab/0xe0 Fixes: 34980ca8faeb ("Drivers: clean up direct setting of the name of a kset") Signed-off-by: Yang Yingliang <yangyingliang@xxxxxxxxxx> --- fs/ocfs2/cluster/masklog.c | 7 ++++++- 1 file changed, 6 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/fs/ocfs2/cluster/masklog.c b/fs/ocfs2/cluster/masklog.c index 563881ddbf00..7f9ba816d955 100644 --- a/fs/ocfs2/cluster/masklog.c +++ b/fs/ocfs2/cluster/masklog.c @@ -156,6 +156,7 @@ static struct kset mlog_kset = { int mlog_sys_init(struct kset *o2cb_kset) { int i = 0; + int ret; while (mlog_attrs[i].attr.mode) { mlog_default_attrs[i] = &mlog_attrs[i].attr; @@ -165,7 +166,11 @@ int mlog_sys_init(struct kset *o2cb_kset) kobject_set_name(&mlog_kset.kobj, "logmask"); mlog_kset.kobj.kset = o2cb_kset; - return kset_register(&mlog_kset); + ret = kset_register(&mlog_kset); + if (ret) + kset_put(&mlog_kset); + + return ret; } void mlog_sys_shutdown(void) -- 2.25.1
