From: Luis Henriques ftrace_hash is being kfree'ed in ftrace_graph_release(), however the ->buckets field is not. This results in a memory leak that is easily captured by kmemleak: unreferenced object 0xffff880038afe000 (size 8192): comm "trace-cmd", pid 238, jiffies 4294916898 (age 9.736s) hex dump (first 32 bytes): 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 ................ 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 ................ backtrace: [] kmemleak_alloc+0x4e/0xb0 [] __kmalloc+0x12d/0x1a0 [] alloc_ftrace_hash+0x51/0x80 [] __ftrace_graph_open.isra.39.constprop.46+0xa3/0x100 [] ftrace_graph_open+0x68/0xa0 [] do_dentry_open.isra.1+0x1bd/0x2d0 [] vfs_open+0x47/0x60 [] path_openat+0x2a5/0x1020 [] do_filp_open+0x8a/0xf0 [] do_sys_open+0x12f/0x200 [] SyS_open+0x1e/0x20 [] entry_SYSCALL_64_fastpath+0x13/0x94 [] 0xffffffffffffffff Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20170525152038.7661-1-lhenriques@suse.com Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Fixes: b9b0c831bed2 ("ftrace: Convert graph filter to use hash tables") Signed-off-by: Luis Henriques Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt (VMware) --- kernel/trace/ftrace.c | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/kernel/trace/ftrace.c b/kernel/trace/ftrace.c index 74fdfe9ed3db..9e5841dc14b5 100644 --- a/kernel/trace/ftrace.c +++ b/kernel/trace/ftrace.c @@ -5063,7 +5063,7 @@ ftrace_graph_release(struct inode *inode, struct file *file) } out: - kfree(fgd->new_hash); + free_ftrace_hash(fgd->new_hash); kfree(fgd); return ret; -- 2.10.2
