From: Eric Biggers <ebiggers@xxxxxxxxxx> If processing the on-disk mount options fails after any memory was allocated in the ext4_fs_context, e.g. s_qf_names, then this memory is leaked. Fix this by calling ext4_fc_free() instead of kfree() directly. Reproducer: mkfs.ext4 -F /dev/vdc tune2fs /dev/vdc -E mount_opts=usrjquota=file echo clear > /sys/kernel/debug/kmemleak mount /dev/vdc /vdc echo scan > /sys/kernel/debug/kmemleak sleep 5 echo scan > /sys/kernel/debug/kmemleak cat /sys/kernel/debug/kmemleak Fixes: 7edfd85b1ffd ("ext4: Completely separate options parsing and sb setup") Cc: stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Signed-off-by: Eric Biggers <ebiggers@xxxxxxxxxx> --- fs/ext4/super.c | 6 ++++-- 1 file changed, 4 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) diff --git a/fs/ext4/super.c b/fs/ext4/super.c index 1466fbdbc8e34..60fa2f2623e07 100644 --- a/fs/ext4/super.c +++ b/fs/ext4/super.c @@ -2625,8 +2625,10 @@ static int parse_apply_sb_mount_options(struct super_block *sb, ret = ext4_apply_options(fc, sb); out_free: - kfree(s_ctx); - kfree(fc); + if (fc) { + ext4_fc_free(fc); + kfree(fc); + } kfree(s_mount_opts); return ret; } -- 2.36.1
