On commit 31ade3b83e1821da5fbb2f11b5b3d4ab2ec39db8 (Nov 29). There seems to be another leak if nrg is not NULL on this path, but it's not what happens in my case since the WARNING does not fire. Still something to fix: diff --git a/mm/hugetlb.c b/mm/hugetlb.c index 827bb02..e97a31b 100644 --- a/mm/hugetlb.c +++ b/mm/hugetlb.c @@ -372,8 +372,10 @@ retry_locked: spin_unlock(&resv->lock); trg = kmalloc(sizeof(*trg), GFP_KERNEL); - if (!trg) + if (!trg) { + WARN_ON(nrg != NULL); return -ENOMEM; + } spin_lock(&resv->lock); list_add(&trg->link, &resv->region_cache); Thanks -- To unsubscribe, send a message with 'unsubscribe linux-mm' in the body to majordomo@xxxxxxxxx.
