However, only part of the free memory is recovered after the driver is uninstalled. Using ebpf to hook free functions, we find that neither ipmi_user nor ipmi_smi_msg is free, only ipmi_recv_msg is free. We find that the deliver_smi_err_response call in clean_smi_msgs does the destroy processing on each message from the xmit_msg queue without checking the return value and free ipmi_smi_msg. deliver_smi_err_response is called only at this location. Adding the free handling has no effect. To verify, try using ebpf to trace the free function. $ bpftrace -e 'kretprobe:ipmi_alloc_recv_msg {printf("alloc rcv %p\n",retval);} kprobe:free_recv_msg {printf("free recv %p\n", arg0)} kretprobe:ipmi_alloc_smi_msg {printf("alloc smi %p\n", retval);} kprobe:free_smi_msg {printf("free smi %p\n",arg0)}' Signed-off-by: Zhang Yuchen Message-Id: <20221007092617.87597-4-zhangyuchen.lcr@bytedance.com> [Fixed the comment above handle_one_recv_msg().] Signed-off-by: Corey Minyard Signed-off-by: Sasha Levin --- diff --git a/drivers/char/ipmi/ipmi_msghandler.c b/drivers/char/ipmi/ipmi_msghandler.c index 49a1707..d5ee52b 100644 --- a/drivers/char/ipmi/ipmi_msghandler.c +++ b/drivers/char/ipmi/ipmi_msghandler.c @@ -3704,12 +3704,16 @@ static void deliver_smi_err_response(struct ipmi_smi *intf, struct ipmi_smi_msg *msg, unsigned char err) { + int rv; msg->rsp[0] = msg->data[0] | 4; msg->rsp[1] = msg->data[1]; msg->rsp[2] = err; msg->rsp_size = 3; - /* It's an error, so it will never requeue, no need to check return. */ - handle_one_recv_msg(intf, msg); + + /* This will never requeue, but it may ask us to free the message. */ + rv = handle_one_recv_msg(intf, msg); + if (rv == 0) + ipmi_free_smi_msg(msg); } static void cleanup_smi_msgs(struct ipmi_smi *intf)
