From 070c43eea5043e950daa423707ae3c77e2f48edb Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Thiago Jung Bauermann Date: Thu, 1 Sep 2016 16:14:44 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] kexec: fix double-free when failing to relocate the purgatory If kexec_apply_relocations fails, kexec_load_purgatory frees pi->sechdrs and pi->purgatory_buf. This is redundant, because in case of error kimage_file_prepare_segments calls kimage_file_post_load_cleanup, which will also free those buffers. This causes two warnings like the following, one for pi->sechdrs and the other for pi->purgatory_buf: kexec-bzImage64: Loading purgatory failed ------------[ cut here ]------------ WARNING: CPU: 1 PID: 2119 at mm/vmalloc.c:1490 __vunmap+0xc1/0xd0 Trying to vfree() nonexistent vm area (ffffc90000e91000) Modules linked in: CPU: 1 PID: 2119 Comm: kexec Not tainted 4.8.0-rc3+ #5 Hardware name: QEMU Standard PC (i440FX + PIIX, 1996), BIOS Bochs 01/01/2011 Call Trace: dump_stack+0x4d/0x65 __warn+0xcb/0xf0 warn_slowpath_fmt+0x4f/0x60 ? find_vmap_area+0x19/0x70 ? kimage_file_post_load_cleanup+0x47/0xb0 __vunmap+0xc1/0xd0 vfree+0x2e/0x70 kimage_file_post_load_cleanup+0x5e/0xb0 SyS_kexec_file_load+0x448/0x680 ? putname+0x54/0x60 ? do_sys_open+0x190/0x1f0 entry_SYSCALL_64_fastpath+0x13/0x8f ---[ end trace 158bb74f5950ca2b ]--- Fix by setting pi->sechdrs an pi->purgatory_buf to NULL, since vfree won't try to free a NULL pointer.
