This is an experimental semi-automated report about issues detected by Coverity from a scan of next-20210331 as part of the linux-next scan project: https://scan.coverity.com/projects/linux-next-weekly-scan You're getting this email because you were associated with the identified lines of code (noted below) that were touched by commits: None 788b6f45c1d2 ("cifsd: add server-side procedures for SMB3") Coverity reported the following: *** CID 1503590: Resource leaks (RESOURCE_LEAK) /fs/cifsd/mgmt/share_config.c: 101 in parse_veto_list() 95 p = kzalloc(sizeof(struct ksmbd_veto_pattern), GFP_KERNEL); 96 if (!p) 97 return -ENOMEM; 98 99 sz = strlen(veto_list); 100 if (!sz) vvv CID 1503590: Resource leaks (RESOURCE_LEAK) vvv Variable "p" going out of scope leaks the storage it points to. 101 break; 102 103 p->pattern = kstrdup(veto_list, GFP_KERNEL); 104 if (!p->pattern) { 105 ksmbd_free(p); 106 return -ENOMEM; If this is a false positive, please let us know so we can mark it as such, or teach the Coverity rules to be smarter. If not, please make sure fixes get into linux-next. :) For patches fixing this, please include these lines (but double-check the "Fixes" first): Reported-by: coverity-bot <keescook+coverity-bot@xxxxxxxxxxxx> Addresses-Coverity-ID: 1503590 ("Resource leaks") Fixes: 788b6f45c1d2 ("cifsd: add server-side procedures for SMB3") Thanks for your attention! -- Coverity-bot
