tracing: Avoid memory leak in process_system_preds()
When failing in the allocation of filter_item, process_system_preds() goes to fail_mem, where the allocated filter is freed. However, this leads to memory leak of filter->filter_string and filter->prog, which is allocated before and in process_preds(). This bug has been detected by kmemleak as well. Fix this by changing kfree to __free_fiter. unreferenced object 0xffff8880658007c0 (size 32): comm "bash", pid 579, jiffies 4295096372 (age 17.752s) hex dump (first 32 bytes): 63 6f 6d 6d 6f 6e 5f 70 69 64 20 20 3e 20 31 30 common_pid > 10 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 65 73 00 00 00 00 00 00 ........es...... backtrace: [<0000000067441602>] kstrdup+0x2d/0x60 [<00000000141cf7b7>] apply_subsystem_event_filter+0x378/0x932 [<000000009ca32334>] subsystem_filter_write+0x5a/0x90 [<0000000072da2bee>] vfs_write+0xe1/0x240 [<000000004f14f473>] ksys_write+0xb4/0x150 [<00000000a968b4a0>] do_syscall_64+0x6d/0x1e0 [<000000001a189f40>] entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x44/0xa9 unreferenced object 0xffff888060c22d00 (size 64): comm "bash", pid 579, jiffies 4295096372 (age 17.752s) hex dump (first 32 bytes): 01 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 e8 d7 41 80 88 ff ff ...........A.... 01 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 ................ backtrace: [<00000000b8c1b109>] process_preds+0x243/0x1820 [<000000003972c7f0>] apply_subsystem_event_filter+0x3be/0x932 [<000000009ca32334>] subsystem_filter_write+0x5a/0x90 [<0000000072da2bee>] vfs_write+0xe1/0x240 [<000000004f14f473>] ksys_write+0xb4/0x150 [<00000000a968b4a0>] do_syscall_64+0x6d/0x1e0 [<000000001a189f40>] entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x44/0xa9 unreferenced object 0xffff888041d7e800 (size 512): comm "bash", pid 579, jiffies 4295096372 (age 17.752s) hex dump (first 32 bytes): 70 bc 85 97 ff ff ff ff 0a 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 p............... 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 ................ backtrace: [<000000001e04af34>] process_preds+0x71a/0x1820 [<000000003972c7f0>] apply_subsystem_event_filter+0x3be/0x932 [<000000009ca32334>] subsystem_filter_write+0x5a/0x90 [<0000000072da2bee>] vfs_write+0xe1/0x240 [<000000004f14f473>] ksys_write+0xb4/0x150 [<00000000a968b4a0>] do_syscall_64+0x6d/0x1e0 [<000000001a189f40>] entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x44/0xa9 Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/[email protected] Cc: Ingo Molnar <[email protected]> Cc: [email protected] Fixes: 404a3ad ("tracing: Only add filter list when needed") Signed-off-by: Keita Suzuki <[email protected]> Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt (VMware) <[email protected]>
