This is a note to let you know that I have just added a patch titled tracing: Fix leaks of filter preds to the linux-3.8.y-queue branch of the 3.8.y.z extended stable tree which can be found at: http://kernel.ubuntu.com/git?p=ubuntu/linux.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/linux-3.8.y-queue If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to this tree, please reply to this email. For more information about the 3.8.y.z tree, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/Dev/ExtendedStable Thanks. -Kamal ------ From 1890d5b4ee61526136b8204e832363013b1e2069 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Steven Rostedt (Red Hat)" <rostedt@goodmis.org> Date: Tue, 14 May 2013 15:40:48 -0400 Subject: tracing: Fix leaks of filter preds commit 60705c89460fdc7227f2d153b68b3f34814738a4 upstream. Special preds are created when folding a series of preds that can be done in serial. These are allocated in an ops field of the pred structure. But they were never freed, causing memory leaks. This was discovered using the kmemleak checker: unreferenced object 0xffff8800797fd5e0 (size 32): comm "swapper/0", pid 1, jiffies 4294690605 (age 104.608s) hex dump (first 32 bytes): 00 00 01 00 03 00 05 00 07 00 09 00 0b 00 0d 00 ................ 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 ................ backtrace: [<ffffffff814b52af>] kmemleak_alloc+0x73/0x98 [<ffffffff8111ff84>] kmemleak_alloc_recursive.constprop.42+0x16/0x18 [<ffffffff81120e68>] __kmalloc+0xd7/0x125 [<ffffffff810d47eb>] kcalloc.constprop.24+0x2d/0x2f [<ffffffff810d4896>] fold_pred_tree_cb+0xa9/0xf4 [<ffffffff810d3781>] walk_pred_tree+0x47/0xcc [<ffffffff810d5030>] replace_preds.isra.20+0x6f8/0x72f [<ffffffff810d50b5>] create_filter+0x4e/0x8b [<ffffffff81b1c30d>] ftrace_test_event_filter+0x5a/0x155 [<ffffffff8100028d>] do_one_initcall+0xa0/0x137 [<ffffffff81afbedf>] kernel_init_freeable+0x14d/0x1dc [<ffffffff814b24b7>] kernel_init+0xe/0xdb [<ffffffff814d539c>] ret_from_fork+0x7c/0xb0 [<ffffffffffffffff>] 0xffffffffffffffff Cc: Tom Zanussi <tzanussi@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org> Signed-off-by: Kamal Mostafa <kamal@canonical.com> --- kernel/trace/trace_events_filter.c | 4 ++++ 1 file changed, 4 insertions(+) -- 1.8.1.2
