'disk->part_tbl' is malloced in disk_expand_part_tbl() and should be freed before leaving from the error handling cases. However, current code does not free this, causing a memory leak. Add disk_replace_part_tbl() before freeing 'disk'. I have tested this by randomly causing failures to the target code, and verified on kmemleak that this memory leak does occur. unreferenced object 0xffff888006dad500 (size 64): comm "systemd-udevd", pid 116, jiffies 4294895558 (age 121.716s) hex dump (first 32 bytes): 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 ................ 01 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 ................ backtrace: [<00000000eec79bf3>] disk_expand_part_tbl+0xab/0x170 [<00000000624e7d03>] __alloc_disk_node+0xb1/0x1c0 [<00000000ca3f4185>] 0xffffffffc01b8584 [<000000006f88a6ee>] do_one_initcall+0x8b/0x2a4 [<0000000016058199>] do_init_module+0xfd/0x380 [<00000000b6fde336>] load_module+0x3fae/0x4240 [<00000000c523d013>] __do_sys_finit_module+0x11a/0x1b0 [<00000000f07bba26>] do_syscall_64+0x6d/0x1e0 [<00000000979467fd>] entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x44/0xa9 Fixes: 6c71013ecb7e ("block: partition: convert percpu ref") Signed-off-by: Keita Suzuki <keitasuzuki.park@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Reviewed-by: Naohiro Aota <naohiro.aota@xxxxxxx> --- block/genhd.c | 1 + 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+) diff --git a/block/genhd.c b/block/genhd.c index ff6268970ddc..8c4b63d7f507 100644 --- a/block/genhd.c +++ b/block/genhd.c @@ -1504,6 +1504,7 @@ struct gendisk *__alloc_disk_node(int minors, int node_id) */ seqcount_init(&disk->part0.nr_sects_seq); if (hd_ref_init(&disk->part0)) { + disk_replace_part_tbl(disk, NULL); hd_free_part(&disk->part0); kfree(disk); return NULL; -- 2.17.1
