The quilt patch titled Subject: mm/mmap: fix memory leak in mmap_region() has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was mm-mmap-fix-memory-leak-in-mmap_region.patch This patch was dropped because it was merged into the mm-hotfixes-stable branch of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm ------------------------------------------------------ From: Li Zetao <lizetao1@xxxxxxxxxx> Subject: mm/mmap: fix memory leak in mmap_region() Date: Fri, 28 Oct 2022 15:37:17 +0800 There is a memory leak reported by kmemleak: unreferenced object 0xffff88817231ce40 (size 224): comm "mount.cifs", pid 19308, jiffies 4295917571 (age 405.880s) hex dump (first 32 bytes): 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 ................ 60 c0 b2 00 81 88 ff ff 98 83 01 42 81 88 ff ff `..........B.... backtrace: [<ffffffff81936171>] __alloc_file+0x21/0x250 [<ffffffff81937051>] alloc_empty_file+0x41/0xf0 [<ffffffff81937159>] alloc_file+0x59/0x710 [<ffffffff81937964>] alloc_file_pseudo+0x154/0x210 [<ffffffff81741dbf>] __shmem_file_setup+0xff/0x2a0 [<ffffffff817502cd>] shmem_zero_setup+0x8d/0x160 [<ffffffff817cc1d5>] mmap_region+0x1075/0x19d0 [<ffffffff817cd257>] do_mmap+0x727/0x1110 [<ffffffff817518b2>] vm_mmap_pgoff+0x112/0x1e0 [<ffffffff83adf955>] do_syscall_64+0x35/0x80 [<ffffffff83c0006a>] entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x46/0xb0 The root cause was traced to an error handing path in mmap_region() when arch_validate_flags() or mas_preallocate() fails. In the shared anonymous mapping sence, vma will be setuped and mapped with a new shared anonymous file via shmem_zero_setup(). So in this case, the file resource needs to be released. Fix it by calling fput(vma->vm_file) and unmap_region() when arch_validate_flags() or mas_preallocate() returns an error in the shared anonymous mapping sence.
