Subject: [PATCH] blk-mq: fix a memory leak bug
Date: Sun, 14 Jul 2019 02:03:21 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1563087801-7373-1-git-send-email-wang6495@umn.edu> (raw)

From: Wenwen Wang <wenwen@cs.uga.edu>

In blk_mq_init_allocated_queue(), a kernel buffer is allocated through
kcalloc_node() to hold hardware dispatch queues in the request queue 'q',
i.e., 'q->queue_hw_ctx'.  Later on, if the blk-mq device has no scheduler
set, a scheduler will be initialized through elevator_init_mq(). If this
initialization fails, blk_mq_init_allocated_queue() needs to be terminated
with an error code returned to indicate this failure. However, the
allocated buffer is not freed on this execution path, leading to a memory
leak bug. Moreover, the required cleanup work is also missed on this path.

To fix the above issues, free the allocated buffer and invoke the cleanup
functions.
