This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled tty: fix memory leak in vc_deallocate to my tty git tree which can be found at git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/tty.git in the tty-testing branch. The patch will show up in the next release of the linux-next tree (usually sometime within the next 24 hours during the week.) The patch will be merged to the tty-next branch sometime soon, after it passes testing, and the merge window is open. If you have any questions about this process, please let me know. >From 211b4d42b70f1c1660feaa968dac0efc2a96ac4d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Pavel Skripkin <paskripkin@xxxxxxxxx> Date: Sun, 28 Mar 2021 00:44:43 +0300 Subject: tty: fix memory leak in vc_deallocate syzbot reported memory leak in tty/vt. The problem was in VT_DISALLOCATE ioctl cmd. After allocating unimap with PIO_UNIMAP it wasn't freed via VT_DISALLOCATE, but vc_cons[currcons].d was zeroed.
