This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled RDMA/hfi1: fix potential memory leak in setup_base_ctxt() to the 4.19-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-hfi1-fix-potential-memory-leak-in-setup_base_ct.patch and it can be found in the queue-4.19 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit 09d9cc52f555aee100913a32a0fe4671e9b10657 Author: Jianglei Nie <niejianglei2021@xxxxxxx> Date: Mon Jul 11 15:07:18 2022 +0800 RDMA/hfi1: fix potential memory leak in setup_base_ctxt() [ Upstream commit aa2a1df3a2c85f855af7d54466ac10bd48645d63 ] setup_base_ctxt() allocates a memory chunk for uctxt->groups with hfi1_alloc_ctxt_rcv_groups(). When init_user_ctxt() fails, uctxt->groups is not released, which will lead to a memory leak. We should release the uctxt->groups with hfi1_free_ctxt_rcv_groups() when init_user_ctxt() fails.
