[PATCH 4.19 20/96] ata: libata: Fix memory leak for error path in ata_host_alloc()

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



4.19-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Zheng Qixing <zhengqixing@xxxxxxxxxx>

commit 284b75a3d83c7631586d98f6dede1d90f128f0db upstream.

In ata_host_alloc(), if devres_alloc() fails to allocate the device host
resource data pointer, the already allocated ata_host structure is not
freed before returning from the function. This results in a potential
memory leak.

Call kfree(host) before jumping to the error handling path to ensure
that the ata_host structure is properly freed if devres_alloc() fails.

Fixes: 2623c7a5f279 ("libata: add refcounting to ata_host")
