From: Zhengchao Shao <shaozhengchao@xxxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit 7610615e8cdb3f6f5bbd9d8e7a5d8a63e3cabf2e ] When misc_register() failed in test_firmware_init(), the memory pointed by test_fw_config->name is not released. The memory leak information is as follows: unreferenced object 0xffff88810a34cb00 (size 32): comm "insmod", pid 7952, jiffies 4294948236 (age 49.060s) hex dump (first 32 bytes): 74 65 73 74 2d 66 69 72 6d 77 61 72 65 2e 62 69 test-firmware.bi 6e 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 n............... backtrace: [<ffffffff81b21fcb>] __kmalloc_node_track_caller+0x4b/0xc0 [<ffffffff81affb96>] kstrndup+0x46/0xc0 [<ffffffffa0403a49>] __test_firmware_config_init+0x29/0x380 [test_firmware] [<ffffffffa040f068>] 0xffffffffa040f068 [<ffffffff81002c41>] do_one_initcall+0x141/0x780 [<ffffffff816a72c3>] do_init_module+0x1c3/0x630 [<ffffffff816adb9e>] load_module+0x623e/0x76a0 [<ffffffff816af471>] __do_sys_finit_module+0x181/0x240 [<ffffffff89978f99>] do_syscall_64+0x39/0xb0 [<ffffffff89a0008b>] entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x63/0xcd Fixes: c92316bf8e94 ("test_firmware: add batched firmware tests") Signed-off-by: Zhengchao Shao <shaozhengchao@xxxxxxxxxx> Acked-by: Luis Chamberlain <mcgrof@xxxxxxxxxx> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20221119035721.18268-1-shaozhengchao@xxxxxxxxxx Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Sasha Levin <sashal@xxxxxxxxxx> --- lib/test_firmware.c | 1 + 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+) diff --git a/lib/test_firmware.c b/lib/test_firmware.c index c82b65947ce6..1c5a2adb16ef 100644 --- a/lib/test_firmware.c +++ b/lib/test_firmware.c @@ -1491,6 +1491,7 @@ static int __init test_firmware_init(void) rc = misc_register(&test_fw_misc_device); if (rc) { + __test_firmware_config_free(); kfree(test_fw_config); pr_err("could not register misc device: %d\n", rc); return rc; -- 2.35.1
