[PATCH 1/6] afs: Fix missing put on afs_read objects and missing get on the key therein

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

 



The afs_read objects created by afs_req_issue_op() get leaked because
afs_alloc_read() returns a ref and then afs_fetch_data() gets its own ref
which is released when the operation completes, but the initial ref is
never released.

Fix this by discarding the initial ref at the end of afs_req_issue_op().

This leak also covered another bug whereby a ref isn't got on the key
attached to the read record by afs_req_issue_op().  This isn't a problem as
long as the afs_read req never goes away...

Fix this by calling key_get() in afs_req_issue_op().

This was found by the generic/074 test.  It leaks a bunch of kmalloc-192
objects each time it is run, which can be observed by watching
/proc/slabinfo.
