Series | net/mlx5: Fix a memory leak bug | expand |
Please don't change that. On command timeout we don't release ent, since the FW event on completion can occur after timeout, so it is released on the completion handler mlx5_cmd_comp_handler(). See commit 73dd3a4839c1d ("net/mlx5: Avoid using pending command interface slots").

Hi Wenewn, sorry i have to nack this. As Moshe already pointed out, we intentionally don't free ent, since even if the driver decided to timeout, FW might still send a completion, until the FW sends the completion, this entry shouldn't be freed and is not reusable by driver. So this is not a memory leak, it just means that only FW completion is allowed to free this entry or driver shutdown.. otherwise this command entry is just dead until next fw completion.

In mlx5_cmd_invoke(), 'ent' is allocated through kzalloc() in alloc_cmd(). After the work is queued, wait_func() is invoked to wait the completion of the work. If wait_func() returns -ETIMEDOUT, the following execution will be terminated. However, the allocated 'ent' is not deallocated on this program path, leading to a memory leak bug. To fix the above issue, free 'ent' before returning the error.
