You didn't introduce this, but I was explaining earlier that you should
always be suspicious of code which does "goto failed".  The bug here is
that cptab->ctb_parts is allocated with kvmalloc_array() which
doesn't zero out the memory.  So if we only initialize it part way
because art->cpt_nodemask = kzalloc() fails or something then it's
problem:

    91  void
    92  cfs_cpt_table_free(struct cfs_cpt_table *cptab)
    93  {
    94          int i;
    95  
    96          kvfree(cptab->ctb_cpu2cpt);
    97  
    98          for (i = 0; cptab->ctb_parts && i < cptab->ctb_nparts; i++) {
    99                  struct cfs_cpu_partition *part = &cptab->ctb_parts[i];
   100  
   101                  kfree(part->cpt_nodemask);
                             ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
   102                  free_cpumask_var(part->cpt_cpumask);
                                         ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
These are uninitialized so it will crash.  It turns out there isn't a
kvcalloc() or kvzalloc_array() function.  We don't seem to have a
vcalloc() either...  Very strange.

   103          }
   104  
   105          kvfree(cptab->ctb_parts);
   106  
   107          kfree(cptab->ctb_nodemask);
   108          free_cpumask_var(cptab->ctb_cpumask);
   109  
   110          kfree(cptab);
   111  }
