This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled RDMA/mad: Fix possible memory leak in ib_mad_post_receive_mads() to the 5.4-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: rdma-mad-fix-possible-memory-leak-in-ib_mad_post_rec.patch and it can be found in the queue-5.4 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit 096cd2a3323dde808f6ebfc06e846abc99900922 Author: Fan Guo <guofan5@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Fri Jun 12 14:38:24 2020 +0800 RDMA/mad: Fix possible memory leak in ib_mad_post_receive_mads() [ Upstream commit a17f4bed811c60712d8131883cdba11a105d0161 ] If ib_dma_mapping_error() returns non-zero value, ib_mad_post_receive_mads() will jump out of loops and return -ENOMEM without freeing mad_priv. Fix this memory-leak problem by freeing mad_priv in this case.
