Dmitry Vyukov reported the following memory leak unreferenced object 0xffff88002eaafd88 (size 32): comm "a.out", pid 5063, jiffies 4295774645 (age 15.810s) hex dump (first 32 bytes): 28 e9 4e 63 00 88 ff ff 28 e9 4e 63 00 88 ff ff (.Nc....(.Nc.... 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 ................ backtrace: kmalloc include/linux/slab.h:458 region_chg+0x2d4/0x6b0 mm/hugetlb.c:398 __vma_reservation_common+0x2c3/0x390 mm/hugetlb.c:1791 vma_needs_reservation mm/hugetlb.c:1813 alloc_huge_page+0x19e/0xc70 mm/hugetlb.c:1845 hugetlb_no_page mm/hugetlb.c:3543 hugetlb_fault+0x7a1/0x1250 mm/hugetlb.c:3717 follow_hugetlb_page+0x339/0xc70 mm/hugetlb.c:3880 __get_user_pages+0x542/0xf30 mm/gup.c:497 populate_vma_page_range+0xde/0x110 mm/gup.c:919 __mm_populate+0x1c7/0x310 mm/gup.c:969 do_mlock+0x291/0x360 mm/mlock.c:637 SYSC_mlock2 mm/mlock.c:658 SyS_mlock2+0x4b/0x70 mm/mlock.c:648 Dmitry identified a potential memory leak in the routine region_chg, where a region descriptor is not free'ed on an error path. However, the root cause for the above memory leak resides in region_del. In this specific case, a "placeholder" entry is created in region_chg. The associated page allocation fails, and the placeholder entry is left in the reserve map. This is "by design" as the entry should be deleted when the map is released. The bug is in the region_del routine which is used to delete entries within a specific range (and when the map is released). region_del did not handle the case where a placeholder entry exactly matched the start of the range range to be deleted. In this case, the entry would not be deleted and leaked. The fix is to take these special placeholder entries into account in region_del. The region_chg error path leak is also fixed.
