This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled drm/drv: Fix potential memory leak in drm_dev_init() to the 5.15-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: drm-drv-fix-potential-memory-leak-in-drm_dev_init.patch and it can be found in the queue-5.15 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit f97ce822f3fe633a29171cdfa06cbe37dcc58f96 Author: Shang XiaoJing <shangxiaojing@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Tue Nov 1 15:07:15 2022 +0800 drm/drv: Fix potential memory leak in drm_dev_init() [ Upstream commit ff963634f7b2e0dc011349abb3fb81a0d074f443 ] drm_dev_init() will add drm_dev_init_release() as a callback. When drmm_add_action() failed, the release function won't be added. As the result, the ref cnt added by device_get() in drm_dev_init() won't be put by drm_dev_init_release(), which leads to the memleak. Use drmm_add_action_or_reset() instead of drmm_add_action() to prevent memleak. unreferenced object 0xffff88810bc0c800 (size 2048): comm "modprobe", pid 8322, jiffies 4305809845 (age 15.292s) hex dump (first 32 bytes): e8 cc c0 0b 81 88 ff ff ff ff ff ff 00 00 00 00 ................ 20 24 3c 0c 81 88 ff ff 18 c8 c0 0b 81 88 ff ff $<............. backtrace: [<000000007251f72d>] __kmalloc+0x4b/0x1c0 [<0000000045f21f26>] platform_device_alloc+0x2d/0xe0 [<000000004452a479>] platform_device_register_full+0x24/0x1c0 [<0000000089f4ea61>] 0xffffffffa0736051 [<00000000235b2441>] do_one_initcall+0x7a/0x380 [<0000000001a4a177>] do_init_module+0x5c/0x230 [<000000002bf8a8e2>] load_module+0x227d/0x2420 [<00000000637d6d0a>] __do_sys_finit_module+0xd5/0x140 [<00000000c99fc324>] do_syscall_64+0x3f/0x90 [<000000004d85aa77>] entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x63/0xcd Fixes: 2cbf7fc6718b ("drm: Use drmm_ for drm_dev_init cleanup") Signed-off-by: Shang XiaoJing <shangxiaojing@xxxxxxxxxx> Reviewed-by: Lyude Paul <lyude@xxxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Lyude Paul <lyude@xxxxxxxxxx> Link: https://patchwork.freedesktop.org/patch/msgid/20221101070716.9189-2-shangxiaojing@xxxxxxxxxx Signed-off-by: Sasha Levin <sashal@xxxxxxxxxx> diff --git a/drivers/gpu/drm/drm_drv.c b/drivers/gpu/drm/drm_drv.c index b3a1636d1b98..6f1791613757 100644 --- a/drivers/gpu/drm/drm_drv.c +++ b/drivers/gpu/drm/drm_drv.c @@ -614,7 +614,7 @@ static int drm_dev_init(struct drm_device *dev, mutex_init(&dev->clientlist_mutex); mutex_init(&dev->master_mutex); - ret = drmm_add_action(dev, drm_dev_init_release, NULL); + ret = drmm_add_action_or_reset(dev, drm_dev_init_release, NULL); if (ret) return ret;
