From f7c9c6bb14f3104608a3a83cadea10a6943d2804 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Anton Blanchard Date: Thu, 3 Nov 2011 08:56:22 +1100 Subject: [PATCH] [SCSI] Fix block queue and elevator memory leak in scsi_alloc_sdev When looking at memory consumption issues I noticed quite a lot of memory in the kmalloc-2048 bucket: OBJS ACTIVE USE OBJ SIZE SLABS OBJ/SLAB CACHE SIZE NAME 6561 6471 98% 2.30K 243 27 15552K kmalloc-2048 Over 15MB. slub debug shows that cfq is responsible for almost all of it: # sort -nr /sys/kernel/slab/kmalloc-2048/alloc_calls 6402 .cfq_init_queue+0xec/0x460 age=43423/43564/43655 pid=1 cpus=4,11,13 In scsi_alloc_sdev we do scsi_alloc_queue but if slave_alloc fails we don't free it with scsi_free_queue. The patch below fixes the issue: OBJS ACTIVE USE OBJ SIZE SLABS OBJ/SLAB CACHE SIZE NAME 135 72 53% 2.30K 5 27 320K kmalloc-2048 # cat /sys/kernel/slab/kmalloc-2048/alloc_calls 3 .cfq_init_queue+0xec/0x460 age=3811/3876/3925 pid=1 cpus=4,11,13 Signed-off-by: Anton Blanchard Cc: #2.6.38+ Signed-off-by: James Bottomley --- drivers/scsi/scsi_scan.c | 1 + 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+) diff --git a/drivers/scsi/scsi_scan.c b/drivers/scsi/scsi_scan.c index 44e8ca3..72273a0 100644 --- a/drivers/scsi/scsi_scan.c +++ b/drivers/scsi/scsi_scan.c @@ -322,6 +322,7 @@ out_device_destroy: scsi_device_set_state(sdev, SDEV_DEL); transport_destroy_device(&sdev->sdev_gendev); put_device(&sdev->sdev_dev); + scsi_free_queue(sdev->request_queue); put_device(&sdev->sdev_gendev); out: if (display_failure_msg) -- 2.7.4
