3.19.8-ckt23 -stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ---8<------------------------------------------------------------ From: Jiri Slaby <jslaby@xxxxxxx> commit 13407376b255325fa817798800117a839f3aa055 upstream. The write handler allocates skbs and queues them into data->readq. Read side should read them, if there is any. If there is none, skbs should be dropped by hdev->flush. But this happens only if the device is HCI_UP, i.e. hdev->power_on work was triggered already. When it was not, skbs stay allocated in the queue when /dev/vhci is closed. So purge the queue in ->release. Program to reproduce: #include <err.h> #include <fcntl.h> #include <stdio.h> #include <unistd.h> #include <sys/stat.h> #include <sys/types.h> #include <sys/uio.h> int main() { char buf[] = { 0xff, 0 }; struct iovec iov = { .iov_base = buf, .iov_len = sizeof(buf), }; int fd; while (1) { fd = open("/dev/vhci", O_RDWR); if (fd < 0) err(1, "open"); usleep(50); if (writev(fd, &iov, 1) < 0) err(1, "writev"); usleep(50); close(fd); } return 0; } Result: kmemleak: 4609 new suspected memory leaks unreferenced object 0xffff88059f4d5440 (size 232): comm "vhci", pid 1084, jiffies 4294912542 (age 37569.296s) hex dump (first 32 bytes): 20 f0 23 87 05 88 ff ff 20 f0 23 87 05 88 ff ff .#..... .#..... 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 ................ backtrace: ...
