Subject: io_uring/kbuf: fix memory leak if io_buffer_add_list fails
X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=442ae406603a94f1a263654494f425302ceb0445;p=thirdparty%2Flinux.git

io_uring/kbuf: fix memory leak if io_buffer_add_list fails

io_register_pbuf_ring() ignores the return value of io_buffer_add_list(),
which can fail if xa_store() returns an error (e.g., -ENOMEM). When this
happens, the function returns 0 (success) to the caller, but the
io_buffer_list structure is neither added to the xarray nor freed.

In practice this requires failure injection to hit, hence not a real
issue. But it should get fixed up none the less.
