This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled x86/xen: Fix memory leak in xen_init_lock_cpu() to the 4.14-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: x86-xen-fix-memory-leak-in-xen_init_lock_cpu.patch and it can be found in the queue-4.14 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit acdd00370ee6593063bb5577c86b7fc68dad6cad Author: Xiu Jianfeng <xiujianfeng@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Wed Nov 23 23:58:58 2022 +0800 x86/xen: Fix memory leak in xen_init_lock_cpu() [ Upstream commit ca84ce153d887b1dc8b118029976cc9faf2a9b40 ] In xen_init_lock_cpu(), the @name has allocated new string by kasprintf(), if bind_ipi_to_irqhandler() fails, it should be freed, otherwise may lead to a memory leak issue, fix it.
