When CONFIG_FPGA_KUNIT_TESTS=m and making CONFIG_DEBUG_KMEMLEAK=y and CONFIG_DEBUG_KMEMLEAK_AUTO_SCAN=y, modprobe fpga-region-test and then rmmod fpga-region-test, the below memory leak is detected. fpga_region_class_find() in fpga_region_test_class_find() will call get_device() if the data is matched, which will increment refcount for dev->kobj, so it should call put_device() to decrement refcount for dev->kobj to free the region, because fpga_region_unregister() will call fpga_region_dev_release() only when the refcount for dev->kobj is zero but fpga_region_test_init() call device_register() in fpga_region_register_full(), which also increment refcount. So call put_device() after calling fpga_region_class_find() in fpga_region_test_class_find(). After applying this patch, the following memory leak is never detected. unreferenced object 0xffff88810c8ef000 (size 1024): comm "kunit_try_catch", pid 1875, jiffies 4294715298 (age 836.836s) hex dump (first 32 bytes): b8 d1 fb 05 81 88 ff ff 08 f0 8e 0c 81 88 ff ff ................ 08 f0 8e 0c 81 88 ff ff 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 ................ backtrace: [<ffffffff817ebad7>] kmalloc_trace+0x27/0xa0 [<ffffffffa02385e1>] fpga_region_register_full+0x51/0x430 [fpga_region] [<ffffffffa0228e47>] 0xffffffffa0228e47 [<ffffffff829c479d>] kunit_try_run_case+0xdd/0x250 [<ffffffff829c9f2a>] kunit_generic_run_threadfn_adapter+0x4a/0x90 [<ffffffff81238b85>] kthread+0x2b5/0x380 [<ffffffff81097ded>] ret_from_fork+0x2d/0x70 [<ffffffff810034d1>] ret_from_fork_asm+0x11/0x20 unreferenced object 0xffff888105fbd1b8 (size 8): comm "kunit_try_catch", pid 1875, jiffies 4294715298 (age 836.836s) hex dump (first 8 bytes): 72 65 67 69 6f 6e 30 00 region0. backtrace: [<ffffffff817ec023>] __kmalloc_node_track_caller+0x53/0x150 [<ffffffff82995590>] kvasprintf+0xb0/0x130 [<ffffffff83f713b1>] kobject_set_name_vargs+0x41/0x110 [<ffffffff8304ac1b>] dev_set_name+0xab/0xe0 [<ffffffffa02388a2>] fpga_region_register_full+0x312/0x430 [fpga_region] [<ffffffffa0228e47>] 0xffffffffa0228e47 [<ffffffff829c479d>] kunit_try_run_case+0xdd/0x250 [<ffffffff829c9f2a>] kunit_generic_run_threadfn_adapter+0x4a/0x90 [<ffffffff81238b85>] kthread+0x2b5/0x380 [<ffffffff81097ded>] ret_from_fork+0x2d/0x70 [<ffffffff810034d1>] ret_from_fork_asm+0x11/0x20 unreferenced object 0xffff88810b3b8a00 (size 256): comm "kunit_try_catch", pid 1875, jiffies 4294715298 (age 836.836s) hex dump (first 32 bytes): 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 08 8a 3b 0b 81 88 ff ff ..........;..... 08 8a 3b 0b 81 88 ff ff e0 ac 04 83 ff ff ff ff ..;............. backtrace: [<ffffffff817ebad7>] kmalloc_trace+0x27/0xa0 [<ffffffff83056d7a>] device_add+0xa2a/0x15e0 [<ffffffffa02388b1>] fpga_region_register_full+0x321/0x430 [fpga_region] [<ffffffffa0228e47>] 0xffffffffa0228e47 [<ffffffff829c479d>] kunit_try_run_case+0xdd/0x250 [<ffffffff829c9f2a>] kunit_generic_run_threadfn_adapter+0x4a/0x90 [<ffffffff81238b85>] kthread+0x2b5/0x380 [<ffffffff81097ded>] ret_from_fork+0x2d/0x70 [<ffffffff810034d1>] ret_from_fork_asm+0x11/0x20 Fixes: 64a5f972c93d ("fpga: add an initial KUnit suite for the FPGA Region") Signed-off-by: Jinjie Ruan <ruanjinjie@xxxxxxxxxx> --- drivers/fpga/tests/fpga-region-test.c | 2 ++ 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+) diff --git a/drivers/fpga/tests/fpga-region-test.c b/drivers/fpga/tests/fpga-region-test.c index 5ff688b394f9..7cd2667d52be 100644 --- a/drivers/fpga/tests/fpga-region-test.c +++ b/drivers/fpga/tests/fpga-region-test.c @@ -95,6 +95,8 @@ static void fpga_region_test_class_find(struct kunit *test) region = fpga_region_class_find(NULL, &ctx->region_pdev->dev, fake_region_match); KUNIT_EXPECT_PTR_EQ(test, region, ctx->region); + + put_device(®ion->dev); } /* -- 2.34.1
