From: Ahmed Zaki <anzaki@xxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit 8f9dcc29566626f683843ccac6113a12208315ca ] The following is from a system that went OOM due to a memory leak: wlan0: Allocated STA 74:83:c2:64:0b:87 wlan0: Allocated STA 74:83:c2:64:0b:87 wlan0: IBSS finish 74:83:c2:64:0b:87 (---from ieee80211_ibss_add_sta) wlan0: Adding new IBSS station 74:83:c2:64:0b:87 wlan0: moving STA 74:83:c2:64:0b:87 to state 2 wlan0: moving STA 74:83:c2:64:0b:87 to state 3 wlan0: Inserted STA 74:83:c2:64:0b:87 wlan0: IBSS finish 74:83:c2:64:0b:87 (---from ieee80211_ibss_work) wlan0: Adding new IBSS station 74:83:c2:64:0b:87 wlan0: moving STA 74:83:c2:64:0b:87 to state 2 wlan0: moving STA 74:83:c2:64:0b:87 to state 3 . . wlan0: expiring inactive not authorized STA 74:83:c2:64:0b:87 wlan0: moving STA 74:83:c2:64:0b:87 to state 2 wlan0: moving STA 74:83:c2:64:0b:87 to state 1 wlan0: Removed STA 74:83:c2:64:0b:87 wlan0: Destroyed STA 74:83:c2:64:0b:87 The ieee80211_ibss_finish_sta() is called twice on the same STA from 2 different locations. On the second attempt, the allocated STA is not destroyed creating a kernel memory leak. This is happening because sta_info_insert_finish() does not call sta_info_free() the second time when the STA already exists (returns -EEXIST). Note that the caller sta_info_insert_rcu() assumes STA is destroyed upon errors. Same fix is applied to -ENOMEM.
