Subject: [PATCH] ocfs2: possible memory leak in mlog_sys_init()
Date: Tue, 18 Oct 2022 15:52:13 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20221018075213.736562-1-yangyingliang@huawei.com> (raw)
Inject fault while probing module, kset_register() may fail,
if it fails, but the refcount of kobject is not decreased to
0, the name allocated in kobject_set_name() is leaked. Fix
this by calling kset_put(), so that name can be freed in
callback function kobject_cleanup().
unreferenced object 0xffff888100da9348 (size 8):
comm "modprobe", pid 257, jiffies 4294701096 (age 33.334s)
hex dump (first 8 bytes):
6c 6f 67 6d 61 73 6b 00 logmask.
backtrace:
[<00000000306e441c>] __kmalloc_node_track_caller+0x44/0x1b0

Fixes: 34980ca8faeb ("Drivers: clean up direct setting of the name of a kset")
