From d9fc880723321dbf16b2981e3f3e916b73942210 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Frank Rowand Date: Thu, 16 Jun 2016 10:51:46 -0700 Subject: of: fix memory leak related to safe_name() Fix a memory leak resulting from memory allocation in safe_name(). This patch fixes all call sites of safe_name(). Mathieu Malaterre reported the memory leak on boot: On my PowerMac device-tree would generate a duplicate name: [ 0.023043] device-tree: Duplicate name in PowerPC,G4@0, renamed to "l2-cache#1" in this case a newly allocated name is generated by `safe_name`. However in this case it is never deallocated. The bug was found using kmemleak reported as: unreferenced object 0xdf532e60 (size 32): comm "swapper", pid 1, jiffies 4294892300 (age 1993.532s) hex dump (first 32 bytes): 6c 32 2d 63 61 63 68 65 23 31 00 dd e4 dd 1e c2 l2-cache#1...... ec d4 ba ce 04 ec cc de 8e 85 e9 ca c4 ec cc 9e ................ backtrace: [] kvasprintf+0x64/0xc8 [] kasprintf+0x4c/0x5c [] safe_name.isra.1+0x80/0xc4 [] __of_attach_node_sysfs+0x6c/0x11c [] of_core_init+0x8c/0xf8 [] kernel_init_freeable+0xd4/0x208 [] kernel_init+0x24/0x11c [] ret_from_kernel_thread+0x5c/0x64 Link: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=120331 Signed-off-by: Frank Rowand Reported-by: mathieu.malaterre@gmail.com Tested-by: Mathieu Malaterre Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Signed-off-by: Rob Herring --- drivers/of/dynamic.c | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) (limited to 'drivers/of/dynamic.c') diff --git a/drivers/of/dynamic.c b/drivers/of/dynamic.c index 3033fa3250dc..a2015599ed7e 100644 --- a/drivers/of/dynamic.c +++ b/drivers/of/dynamic.c @@ -55,7 +55,7 @@ void __of_detach_node_sysfs(struct device_node *np) /* only remove properties if on sysfs */ if (of_node_is_attached(np)) { for_each_property_of_node(np, pp) - sysfs_remove_bin_file(&np->kobj, &pp->attr); + __of_sysfs_remove_bin_file(np, pp); kobject_del(&np->kobj); } -- cgit v1.2.3
