[PATCH v2] cgroup: Fix memory leak when parsing multiple source parameters

From: Qinglang Miao
Date: Wed Dec 09 2020 - 20:23:47 EST


A memory leak is found in cgroup1_parse_param() when multiple source
parameters overwrite fc->source in the fs_context struct without free.

unreferenced object 0xffff888100d930e0 (size 16):
comm "mount", pid 520, jiffies 4303326831 (age 152.783s)
hex dump (first 16 bytes):
74 65 73 74 6c 65 61 6b 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 testleak........
backtrace:
[<000000003e5023ec>] kmemdup_nul+0x2d/0xa0
[<00000000377dbdaa>] vfs_parse_fs_string+0xc0/0x150

[<0000000094cafb0a>] __x64_sys_mount+0x14b/0x1f0

Fix this bug by permitting a single source parameter and rejecting with
an error all subsequent ones.
