From f35838a6930296fc1988764cfa54cb3f705c0665 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jianglei Nie Date: Thu, 9 Dec 2021 14:56:31 +0800 Subject: [PATCH] btrfs: fix memory leak in __add_inode_ref() Line 1169 (#3) allocates a memory chunk for victim_name by kmalloc(), but when the function returns in line 1184 (#4) victim_name allocated by line 1169 (#3) is not freed, which will lead to a memory leak. There is a similar snippet of code in this function as allocating a memory chunk for victim_name in line 1104 (#1) as well as releasing the memory in line 1116 (#2). We should kfree() victim_name when the return value of backref_in_log() is less than zero and before the function returns in line 1184 (#4). 1057 static inline int __add_inode_ref(struct btrfs_trans_handle *trans, 1058 struct btrfs_root *root, 1059 struct btrfs_path *path, 1060 struct btrfs_root *log_root, 1061 struct btrfs_inode *dir, 1062 struct btrfs_inode *inode, 1063 u64 inode_objectid, u64 parent_objectid, 1064 u64 ref_index, char *name, int namelen, 1065 int *search_done) 1066 { 1104 victim_name = kmalloc(victim_name_len, GFP_NOFS); // #1: kmalloc (victim_name-1) 1105 if (!victim_name) 1106 return -ENOMEM; 1112 ret = backref_in_log(log_root, &search_key, 1113 parent_objectid, victim_name, 1114 victim_name_len); 1115 if (ret < 0) { 1116 kfree(victim_name); // #2: kfree (victim_name-1) 1117 return ret; 1118 } else if (!ret) { 1169 victim_name = kmalloc(victim_name_len, GFP_NOFS); // #3: kmalloc (victim_name-2) 1170 if (!victim_name) 1171 return -ENOMEM; 1180 ret = backref_in_log(log_root, &search_key, 1181 parent_objectid, victim_name, 1182 victim_name_len); 1183 if (ret < 0) { 1184 return ret; // #4: missing kfree (victim_name-2) 1185 } else if (!ret) { 1241 return 0; 1242 } Fixes: d3316c8233bb ("btrfs: Properly handle backref_in_log retval") CC: stable@vger.kernel.org # 5.10+ Reviewed-by: Qu Wenruo Reviewed-by: Filipe Manana Signed-off-by: Jianglei Nie Reviewed-by: David Sterba Signed-off-by: David Sterba --- fs/btrfs/tree-log.c | 1 + 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+) diff --git a/fs/btrfs/tree-log.c b/fs/btrfs/tree-log.c index 3e6f14e13918b..8778401665c31 100644 --- a/fs/btrfs/tree-log.c +++ b/fs/btrfs/tree-log.c @@ -1181,6 +1181,7 @@ static inline int __add_inode_ref(struct btrfs_trans_handle *trans, parent_objectid, victim_name, victim_name_len); if (ret < 0) { + kfree(victim_name); return ret; } else if (!ret) { ret = -ENOENT;
