The error handling in this function frees "reg" but it is still on the "o2hb_all_regions" list so it will lead to a use after freew. Joseph Qi points out that we need to clear the bit in the "o2hb_region_bitmap" as well Fixes: 1cf257f51191 ("ocfs2: fix memory leak") Signed-off-by: Dan Carpenter <dan.carpenter@xxxxxxxxxx> --- v2: The first version didn't clear the bit. fs/ocfs2/cluster/heartbeat.c | 8 +++++++- 1 file changed, 7 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/fs/ocfs2/cluster/heartbeat.c b/fs/ocfs2/cluster/heartbeat.c index 0179a73a3fa2..12a7590601dd 100644 --- a/fs/ocfs2/cluster/heartbeat.c +++ b/fs/ocfs2/cluster/heartbeat.c @@ -2042,7 +2042,7 @@ static struct config_item *o2hb_heartbeat_group_make_item(struct config_group *g o2hb_nego_timeout_handler, reg, NULL, ®->hr_handler_list); if (ret) - goto free; + goto remove_item; ret = o2net_register_handler(O2HB_NEGO_APPROVE_MSG, reg->hr_key, sizeof(struct o2hb_nego_msg), @@ -2057,6 +2057,12 @@ static struct config_item *o2hb_heartbeat_group_make_item(struct config_group *g unregister_handler: o2net_unregister_handler_list(®->hr_handler_list); +remove_item: + spin_lock(&o2hb_live_lock); + list_del(®->hr_all_item); + if (o2hb_global_heartbeat_active()) + clear_bit(reg->hr_region_num, o2hb_region_bitmap); + spin_unlock(&o2hb_live_lock); free: kfree(reg); return ERR_PTR(ret); -- 2.30.0
