In attach_node_and_children memory is allocated for full_name via kasprintf. If the condition of the 1st if is not met the function returns early without freeing the memory. Add a kfree() to fix that. This has been detected with kmemleak: Link: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=205327 It looks like the leak was introduced by this commit: Fixes: 5babefb7f7ab ("of: unittest: allow base devicetree to have symbol metadata") Signed-off-by: Erhard Furtner <erhard_f@xxxxxxxxxxx> Reviewed-by: Michael Ellerman <mpe@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Reviewed-by: Tyrel Datwyler <tyreld@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> --- Changes in v2: - Make the commit message more clearer. drivers/of/unittest.c | 4 +++- 1 file changed, 3 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/drivers/of/unittest.c b/drivers/of/unittest.c index 92e895d86458..ca7823eef2b4 100644 --- a/drivers/of/unittest.c +++ b/drivers/of/unittest.c @@ -1146,8 +1146,10 @@ static void attach_node_and_children(struct device_node *np) full_name = kasprintf(GFP_KERNEL, "%pOF", np); if (!strcmp(full_name, "/__local_fixups__") || - !strcmp(full_name, "/__fixups__")) + !strcmp(full_name, "/__fixups__")) { + kfree(full_name); return; + } dup = of_find_node_by_path(full_name); kfree(full_name); -- 2.23.0
