Subject: [PATCH] dma-buf: Restore the scatterlist entry count before freeing
Date: Tue, 13 Oct 2026 14:46:24 +0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261013-dma-buf-fixes-v1-1-0e2d9ca41f3a@nvidia.com> (raw)
From: Leon Romanovsky <leonro@nvidia.com>
dma_buf_phys_vec_to_sgt() clears orig_nents to mark the returned table
as DMA-only. Since sg_free_table() uses orig_nents to walk and free the
scatterlist, dma_buf_free_sgt() leaks the allocation on every successful
map/unmap cycle.
Restore orig_nents from nents before freeing the table. The helper
allocates the DMA list directly, so nents retains the allocation count,
including for chained scatterlists.
The reported kmemleak output was:
