[PATCH] ufs: Fix memory leak in the unlink path

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



While running generic xfstests against ufs (ufstype=44bsd), a lot of memory
leaks were reported by kmemleak (in particular with generic/074).  It is
easily reproducible by simply doing:

  dd if=/dev/zero of=test bs=1024 count=1024
  unlink test

which will result in having kmemleak reporting:

unreferenced object 0xffff8800623f8980 (size 96):
  comm "unlink", pid 172, jiffies 4294905029 (age 60.804s)
  hex dump (first 32 bytes):
    e0 06 00 00 00 00 00 00 08 00 00 00 00 00 00 00  ................

Fix this by kfree'ing the ufs_buffer_head allocated through ubh_bread in
free_full_branch.  While there, drop the NULL check as this is already done
in bforget.
