From ef6e7816b4546475d04b4ea22d58c48472157c70 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Fengguang Wu Date: Sun, 23 Sep 2012 08:18:06 +0800 Subject: edac_mc: fix messy kfree calls in the error path coccinelle warns about: + drivers/edac/edac_mc.c:429:9-23: ERROR: reference preceded by free on line 429 421 if (mci->csrows) { > 422 for (chn = 0; chn < tot_channels; chn++) { 423 csr = mci->csrows[chn]; 424 if (csr) { > 425 for (chn = 0; chn < tot_channels; chn++) 426 kfree(csr->channels[chn]); 427 kfree(csr); 428 } > 429 kfree(mci->csrows[i]); 430 } 431 kfree(mci->csrows); 432 } and that code block seem to mess things up in several ways (double free, memory leak, out-of-bound reads etc.): L422: The iterator "chn" and bound "tot_channels" are totally wrong. Should be "row" and "tot_csrows" respectively. Which means either memory leak, or out-of-bound reads (which if does not trigger an immediate page fault error, will further lead to kfree() on random addresses). L425: The inner loop is reusing the same iterator "chn" as the outer loop, which could lead to premature end of the outer loop, and hence memory leak. L429: The array index 'i' in mci->csrows[i] is a temporary value used in previous loops, and won't change at all in the current loop. Which means either out-of-bound read and possibly kfree(random number), or the same mci->csrows[i] get freed once and again, and possibly double free for the kfree(csr) in L427. L426/L427: a kfree(csr->channels) is needed in between to avoid leaking the memory. The buggy code was introduced by commit de3910eb ("edac: change the mem allocation scheme to make Documentation/kobject.txt happy") in the 3.6-rc1 merge window. Fix it by freeing up resources in this order: free csrows[i]->channels[j] free csrows[i]->channels free csrows[i] free csrows CC: Mauro Carvalho Chehab CC: Shaun Ruffell Signed-off-by: Fengguang Wu Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds --- drivers/edac/edac_mc.c | 12 +++++++----- 1 file changed, 7 insertions(+), 5 deletions(-) (limited to 'drivers/edac') diff --git a/drivers/edac/edac_mc.c b/drivers/edac/edac_mc.c index 616d90bcb3a4..9037ffa100d5 100644 --- a/drivers/edac/edac_mc.c +++ b/drivers/edac/edac_mc.c @@ -419,14 +419,16 @@ error: kfree(mci->dimms); } if (mci->csrows) { - for (chn = 0; chn < tot_channels; chn++) { - csr = mci->csrows[chn]; + for (row = 0; row < tot_csrows; row++) { + csr = mci->csrows[row]; if (csr) { - for (chn = 0; chn < tot_channels; chn++) - kfree(csr->channels[chn]); + if (csr->channels) { + for (chn = 0; chn < tot_channels; chn++) + kfree(csr->channels[chn]); + kfree(csr->channels); + } kfree(csr); } - kfree(mci->csrows[i]); } kfree(mci->csrows); } -- cgit v1.2.3
