From cba998b9b3799a5d6861a969d7b7d9b4f4f181f6 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Steven Rostedt (Red Hat)" Date: Tue, 14 May 2013 15:40:48 -0400 Subject: tracing: Fix leaks of filter preds commit 60705c89460fdc7227f2d153b68b3f34814738a4 upstream. Special preds are created when folding a series of preds that can be done in serial. These are allocated in an ops field of the pred structure. But they were never freed, causing memory leaks. This was discovered using the kmemleak checker: unreferenced object 0xffff8800797fd5e0 (size 32): comm "swapper/0", pid 1, jiffies 4294690605 (age 104.608s) hex dump (first 32 bytes): 00 00 01 00 03 00 05 00 07 00 09 00 0b 00 0d 00 ................ 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 ................ backtrace: [] kmemleak_alloc+0x73/0x98 [] kmemleak_alloc_recursive.constprop.42+0x16/0x18 [] __kmalloc+0xd7/0x125 [] kcalloc.constprop.24+0x2d/0x2f [] fold_pred_tree_cb+0xa9/0xf4 [] walk_pred_tree+0x47/0xcc [] replace_preds.isra.20+0x6f8/0x72f [] create_filter+0x4e/0x8b [] ftrace_test_event_filter+0x5a/0x155 [] do_one_initcall+0xa0/0x137 [] kernel_init_freeable+0x14d/0x1dc [] kernel_init+0xe/0xdb [] ret_from_fork+0x7c/0xb0 [] 0xffffffffffffffff Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt Cc: Tom Zanussi Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman --- kernel/trace/trace_events_filter.c | 4 ++++ 1 file changed, 4 insertions(+) (limited to 'kernel/trace') diff --git a/kernel/trace/trace_events_filter.c b/kernel/trace/trace_events_filter.c index 431dba8b7542..289197a2d334 100644 --- a/kernel/trace/trace_events_filter.c +++ b/kernel/trace/trace_events_filter.c @@ -777,7 +777,11 @@ static int filter_set_pred(struct event_filter *filter, static void __free_preds(struct event_filter *filter) { + int i; + if (filter->preds) { + for (i = 0; i < filter->n_preds; i++) + kfree(filter->preds[i].ops); kfree(filter->preds); filter->preds = NULL; } -- cgit v1.2.3
