Subject: [PATCH 2/2] RISC-V: kexec: Fix memory leak of elf header buffer
Date: Fri, 4 Nov 2022 17:56:58 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20221104095658.141222-2-lihuafei1@huawei.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20221104095658.141222-1-lihuafei1@huawei.com>

This is reported by kmemleak detector:

unreferenced object 0xff2000000403d000 (size 4096):
  comm "kexec", pid 146, jiffies 4294900633 (age 64.792s)
  hex dump (first 32 bytes):

In elf_kexec_load(), a buffer is allocated via vzalloc() to store elf
headers.  While it's not freed back to system when kdump kernel is
reloaded or unloaded, or when image->elf_header is successfully set and
then fails to load kdump kernel for some reason. Fix it by freeing the
buffer in arch_kimage_file_post_load_cleanup().

Fixes: 8acea455fafa ("RISC-V: Support for kexec_file on panic")
