+Subject: [PATCH] efivarfs: revert "fix memory leak in efivarfs_create()"
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+The memory leak addressed by commit fe5186cf12e3 is a false positive:
|
|
|
+all allocations are recorded in a linked list, and freed when the
|
|
|
+filesystem is unmounted. This leads to double frees, and as reported
|
|
|
+by David, leads to crashes if SLUB is configured to self destruct when
|
|
|
+double frees occur.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+So drop the redundant kfree() again, and instead, mark the offending
|
|
|
+pointer variable so the allocation is ignored by kmemleak.
