Subject: [PATCH] lightnvm: prevent memory leak in nvm_bb_chunk_sense
Date: Sun, 29 Sep 2019 21:34:14 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20190930023415.24171-1-navid.emamdoost@gmail.com> (raw)

In nvm_bb_chunk_sense alloc_page allocates memory which is released at
the end of the function. But if nvm_submit_io_sync_raw fails the error
check skips the release and leaks the allocated page. To fix this issue
I moved the __free_page call before error check.

Fixes: aff3fb18f957 ("lightnvm: move bad block and chunk state logic to core")
