From: Shang XiaoJing <shangxiaojing@xxxxxxxxxx> commit 66f0919c953ef7b55e5ab94389a013da2ce80a2c upstream. test_gen_kprobe_cmd() only free buf in fail path, hence buf will leak when there is no failure. Move kfree(buf) from fail path to common path to prevent the memleak. The same reason and solution in test_gen_kretprobe_cmd(). unreferenced object 0xffff888143b14000 (size 2048): comm "insmod", pid 52490, jiffies 4301890980 (age 40.553s) hex dump (first 32 bytes): 70 3a 6b 70 72 6f 62 65 73 2f 67 65 6e 5f 6b 70 p:kprobes/gen_kp 72 6f 62 65 5f 74 65 73 74 20 64 6f 5f 73 79 73 robe_test do_sys backtrace: [<000000006d7b836b>] kmalloc_trace+0x27/0xa0 [<0000000009528b5b>] 0xffffffffa059006f [<000000008408b580>] do_one_initcall+0x87/0x2a0 [<00000000c4980a7e>] do_init_module+0xdf/0x320 [<00000000d775aad0>] load_module+0x3006/0x3390 [<00000000e9a74b80>] __do_sys_finit_module+0x113/0x1b0 [<000000003726480d>] do_syscall_64+0x35/0x80 [<000000003441e93b>] entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x46/0xb0 Link: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20221102072954.26555-1-shangxiaojing@xxxxxxxxxx/ Fixes: 64836248dda2 ("tracing: Add kprobe event command generation test module") Cc: stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Signed-off-by: Shang XiaoJing <shangxiaojing@xxxxxxxxxx> Acked-by: Masami Hiramatsu (Google) <mhiramat@xxxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Masami Hiramatsu (Google) <mhiramat@xxxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> --- kernel/trace/kprobe_event_gen_test.c | 18 +++++++----------- 1 file changed, 7 insertions(+), 11 deletions(-) --- a/kernel/trace/kprobe_event_gen_test.c +++ b/kernel/trace/kprobe_event_gen_test.c @@ -100,20 +100,20 @@ static int __init test_gen_kprobe_cmd(vo KPROBE_GEN_TEST_FUNC, KPROBE_GEN_TEST_ARG0, KPROBE_GEN_TEST_ARG1); if (ret) - goto free; + goto out; /* Use kprobe_event_add_fields to add the rest of the fields */ ret = kprobe_event_add_fields(&cmd, KPROBE_GEN_TEST_ARG2, KPROBE_GEN_TEST_ARG3); if (ret) - goto free; + goto out; /* * This actually creates the event. */ ret = kprobe_event_gen_cmd_end(&cmd); if (ret) - goto free; + goto out; /* * Now get the gen_kprobe_test event file.
