This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled ksmbd: fix memory leak in smb2_lock() to the 6.1-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: ksmbd-fix-memory-leak-in-smb2_lock.patch and it can be found in the queue-6.1 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit 6c8b314003c509619fad406bb142675500673098 Author: Zizhi Wo <wozizhi@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Fri Dec 1 22:50:48 2023 +0800 ksmbd: fix memory leak in smb2_lock() [ Upstream commit 8f1752723019db900fb60a5b9d0dfd3a2bdea36c ] In smb2_lock(), if setup_async_work() executes successfully, work->cancel_argv will bind the argv that generated by kmalloc(). And release_async_work() is called in ksmbd_conn_try_dequeue_request() or smb2_lock() to release argv. However, when setup_async_work function fails, work->cancel_argv has not been bound to the argv, resulting in the previously allocated argv not being released. Call kfree() to fix it.
