From 218ad12f42e0b6207105cde8fd13017d1ed449e4 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Pavel Emelyanov Date: Mon, 26 Nov 2007 20:23:31 +0800 Subject: [PATCH] [IPV4]: Fix memory leak in inet_hashtables.h when NUMA is on The inet_ehash_locks_alloc() looks like this: #ifdef CONFIG_NUMA if (size > PAGE_SIZE) x = vmalloc(...); else #endif x = kmalloc(...); Unlike it, the inet_ehash_locks_alloc() looks like this: #ifdef CONFIG_NUMA if (size > PAGE_SIZE) vfree(x); else #else kfree(x); #endif The error is obvious - if the NUMA is on and the size is less than the PAGE_SIZE we leak the pointer (kfree is inside the #else branch). Compiler doesn't warn us because after the kfree(x) there's a "x = NULL" assignment, so here's another (minor?) bug: we don't set x to NULL under certain circumstances. Boring explanation, I know... Patch explains it better.
