| Subject | [PATCH] module: fix memory leak on early load_module() failures |
| Message-ID | <t9ry9-Qv-1@gated-at.bofh.it> |
While looking for early possible module loading failures I was
able to reproduce a memory leak possible with kmemleak. There
are a few rare ways to trigger a failure:
o we've run into a failure while processing kernel parameters
(parse_args() returns an error)
o mod_sysfs_setup() fails
o we're a live patch module and copy_module_elf() fails
Chances of running into this issue is really low.
kmemleak splat:
unreferenced object 0xffff9f2c4ada1b00 (size 32):
comm "kworker/u16:4", pid 82, jiffies 4294897636 (age 681.816s)
