From 60705c89460fdc7227f2d153b68b3f34814738a4 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Steven Rostedt (Red Hat)" Date: Tue, 14 May 2013 15:40:48 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] tracing: Fix leaks of filter preds 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 Cc: Tom Zanussi Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org # 2.6.39+ Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt --- kernel/trace/trace_events_filter.c | 4 ++++ 1 file changed, 4 insertions(+) diff --git a/kernel/trace/trace_events_filter.c b/kernel/trace/trace_events_filter.c index a636117..e1b653f 100644 --- a/kernel/trace/trace_events_filter.c +++ b/kernel/trace/trace_events_filter.c @@ -750,7 +750,11 @@ 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; } -- 2.7.4
