This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled io_uring: fix memory leak when removing provided buffers to the 6.2-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: io_uring-fix-memory-leak-when-removing-provided-buff.patch and it can be found in the queue-6.2 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit 0ed00dcb0c795efc0722ccd715affe4370038f66 Author: Wojciech Lukowicz <wlukowicz01@xxxxxxxxx> Date: Sat Apr 1 20:50:39 2023 +0100 io_uring: fix memory leak when removing provided buffers [ Upstream commit b4a72c0589fdea6259720375426179888969d6a2 ] When removing provided buffers, io_buffer structs are not being disposed of, leading to a memory leak. They can't be freed individually, because they are allocated in page-sized groups. They need to be added to some free list instead, such as io_buffers_cache. All callers already hold the lock protecting it, apart from when destroying buffers, so had to extend the lock there.
